Re: webcam mouse movement = mouseTrap

Hey Flavio,

That is fantastic!!!

Should you be linking up with

http://blogs.sun.com/wwalker/entry/low_cost_control_of_the

(from a mail from Steve a while back)?

I assume since you are using Python and OpenCV it will be able to work
across operating systems?

I look forward to playing with this, in fact, I'll do it now!

Cheers.

Simon

Subject: [oats-sig] webcam mouse movement = mouseTrap

Greetings!!

I'm working right now in a new project called mouseTrap. It is based in
at-spi and OpenCV libraries using the python programing language.

mouseTrap is an accessibility application to move the mouse pointer with a
web cam and face detect features without using the mouse or keyboard, it
will use the eye track too (working on it ) so there wont be no need to move
the head.

I'm trying to install the vxl library which gives me a compiling error (any
help??) to test the opengazer features and so implement them in mouseTrap.

Well, I won't bother you with a long mail, here are the demo links:

The first one uses a complete face detection (with require a lot of CPU
usage), the second one is the one that uses the latest improvements where i
changed the complete face detection for a point tracker (less CPU Usage).
Well, I'm working on it, and i hope you like it.
