The goal of cursorControl is to enable a disabled person to use the technology the same way a non-disabled person would do.
cursorControl is an event-driven application and designed to be modular so that more functionalities can be added to it with greater flexibility. There are basically three parts of the system -
- Input buffers
- Event processors
- Controllers
For example, to enable a disabled person who have no voluntary movement under the neck to control a mouse cursor we will use a video input buffer, a mouse mover event processor, and a mouse movement controller. Video input buffer stores the input from input device (webcam), the mouse mover event processor processes the frames and set the mouse contollers state to desired cursor location, and finally the mouse controller moves the cursor.
We can extend features like controlling the keyboard with voice command with audio input buffer and implementing a keyboard controller similar way the mouse mover controller is implemented.
Note: this application originated from one of my course project whose source code can be found in docs\cursorControl_old.cpp.
