Abstract

One form of natural user interaction with a personal computer is based on natural face movements. This is especially helpful for users who cannot effectively use common input devices with their hands but have sufficient control of their heads. Using vision-based consumer devices makes such a user interface readily available and allows its use to be non-intrusive. This user interface presents some significant challenges particularly with accuracy and design. This research aims to investigate such problems and discover solutions to creating a usable and robust face tracking user interface using currently available technology. Design requirements were set and different design options were implemented and evaluated.
