The system introduces a new algorithm for moving the cursor on the computer screen using nose and eye movements. By precisely detecting the position of the iris and mapping it to a specific position on the computer screen, this algorithm allows physically disabled people to control the left, right, up, and down movement of the cursor on the computer screen. The algorithm also allows people to open and close folders or files or applications using a click mechanism. The world's growing population with disabilities must be accompanied by increasing research and development of tools that assist these users in basic computing activities. Our project focuses on developing a system that enables the use of personal computers using nose and eye movements. To develop this system, the most effective techniques from previous works have been collected, studied and analyzed, and new ones have been developed to build a high-performance and accurate system that will ensure that physically disabled people can communicate effectively with a computer. The system described here represents a hands-free human-computer interface. In general, the physical mouse that people use is replaced by a new way, which is a virtual mouse that uses nose and eye movements for mouse operations.
