Virtual Reality based Human Mouse

The growth in areas of Virtual Reality have seen tremendous improvements in the previous couple of decades. The prime idea behind all of the VR applications is mainly to streamline the experience of using new technological devices by providing a virtual environment to the user, giving them a sense of literally manipulating the device’s data through human actions. This project undertaken aims at making use of this concept to provide with an easier working platform for the disabled in operating a computer. For a person who has lost his fingers, palm or forearm, or is born with such a condition, it is physically impossible to operate a conventional mouse. As a solution to this problem, we have developed a compact system that would essentially perform the operations of a mouse without using one. The purpose of this system is to provide mouse inputs to the system by human actions. It makes use of an IR sensor to detect eye blinks which acts as an input for the double click operation, and a tri-axis MEMS accelerometer to detect hand movements that makes cursor to move on the required computer screen. With the design of a comfortable end product, this technology can overcome the said problem.
