Mouse glasses to help disabled people

The project was developed to facilitate disabled people’s lives, and was presented at Fórum Mundial de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, in 2009.

The device works through an interconnected electronic system, which uses an infra red emitter and a receptor fixated in the glasses, and it makes possible to click with a blink of an eye.

For the cursor movement, it was developed a system of sensors, located in particular spots on the glasses. They capture the head tilt, for the left, and for the right, and send the signal to the mouse.

According to the inventors, the device is efficient, low cost, and answers well to the user’s needs. The price is very low when compared to other similar devices. It costs approximately 12€.
