INTRODUCTION
Communication System

For Disabled
Controlled System

Direct-select Method
Vision-controlled Communication System.

Who are the users of this eye gaze communication system?

Lack Of Hands Or Voice Cerebral Palsy

Spinal Cord Injuries

Brain Injuries Brainstem Strokes

SKILLS NEEDED BY THE USERS

Good control of one eye

Adequate vision
Ability to maintain a position in front of the Eye gaze monitor Mental abilities

PARTS OF THE EYE GAZE SYSTEM

GOOD CONROL OF ONE EYE MONITOR SCREEN EYE GAZE CONTROL MONITOR MONITOR TRAY AND ARM VIDEO CAMERA LED CAMERA LENS AND BRACKET

WORKING OF THE EYE GAZE SYSTEM

How can we run this eye gaze system?

THE MAIN MENU

The Main Menu appears on the screen as soon as the user completes a 15-second calibration procedure.

THE PHRASE PROGRAM

The Phrase program, along with the speech synthesizer, provides quick communications for nonverbal users. The Phrases program stores up to 126 messages, which can be composed and easily changed to suit the user.

THE TELEPHONE PROGRAM

Non-verbal users may access the speech synthesizer to talk on the phone

RUN SECOND PC
As a keyboard

As a mouse controller

THE LIGHTS & APPLIANCES PROGRAM

With Options Of The Eye Gaze A User Can:

BE AT TWO SITES!!

BE A KEYBOARD
SPEAK through a speech synthesizer CONTROL appliances DIAL and answer a phone

A Basic Eye gaze can:

CALIBRATION: Adjust to a new user in about 15

seconds.
TYPEWRITER: Type with one of four keyboards, then print or speak. READ TEXT: Turn pages on the computer screen by looking at "up" or "down".

GAMES: Play games, two "Paddle" games, plus

Solitaire and Slot Machine. TEACH SCREENS: Teach new users with simplified

screens.

OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
The Eye gaze System must be operated in an environment

infrared light.
The System works best away from windows, and in a room lit with fluorescent or mercuryvapor lights, which are low in

infrared.

IntelliGaze IG-30
It is a sophisticated system with

a high tracking rate and excellent

working range. It can accommodate rapid or involuntary head movements Intelligaze uses the latest

camera

technology,

very

sophisticated image

processing

and calibration methods

ADVANTAGES
It helps the user to generate text on a computer. Can construct words and sentences that can be spoken aloud by the system. It helps the user to answer/dial a call It helps the user to operate his environment. The user can be a keyboard/mouse and operate a system.

DISADVANTAGES
The high cost of eye tracking equipment The limitation that gaze communication applications may only work with a particular dedicated eye tracking device Finally that eye tracking devices are often hard to use

and require experts to operate them.

APPLICATIONS
Neurosciences /Neuropsychology Vision Research Experimental Psychology Cognitive Psychology Psycholinguistics Psychiatry /Mental Health Robotics - remote vision control Video and arcade games

FUTURE WORK

CONCLUSION
The main reason for eye-gaze based user interfaces being attractive is that the direction of the eye-gaze can express the interests of the user-it is a potential porthole into the current cognitive processes-and communication through the direction of the eyes is faster than any other mode of human communication.

EYE POWER!! Run a computer with your EYES!!
