Comment on Introducing Opera Face Gestures

Comments

Certainly an April fool's joke... however, work like this has practical applications for patients whose physical disabilities prevent them from using the traditional computer inputs. I did some work with mapping shoulder movements to control a powered wheelchair at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago during an internship in 2007, and I had the impression that there is a lot of room for improvement in current devices. One interface commonly used today is the sip-puff switch: http://www.techready.co.uk/Assistive-Technology/Sip-Puff-Swi... I wouldn’t be surprised if there were people doing serious work in developing facial gesture UIs.
