Smart Cursor System 2.0

Make pointer control less dependent on a hand.

An accessibility-oriented computer-vision experiment for hands-free pointer control.

01 / The problem

Make pointer control less dependent on a hand.

A conventional pointer can be a barrier for people with mobility challenges; the project explores facial gestures as an alternative input path.

Role & responsibility

Built the computer-vision and machine-learning experiment around webcam input and hands-free pointer control.

Verified result

The repository is the evidence surface for supported gestures and environments; usability and accessibility outcomes require dedicated testing.

02 / Solution

Architecture & workflow

Webcam frames feed gesture recognition logic, which maps supported facial signals to pointer actions.

Technical implementation

  • Explored facial gestures as interaction signals.
  • Connected recognition output to cursor-control behavior.
  • Documented supported environments and limitations in the repository.

Key engineering decisions

  • Treat the project as an experiment, not a universal accessibility guarantee.
  • Keep supported gestures and limitations visible to operators.

Completed deliverables

  • Webcam-based input experiment
  • Gesture-to-pointer mapping
  • Public repository documentation
