A new kind of face-controlled mouse.

Expressions Mouse allows you to control your Mac computer using your facial expression.

Its designed for people with major upper-mobility limitations, including spinal-cord injuries, ALS, or cerebral palsy.

This is a unique, experimental controller. It doesnt require a dwell or a timed click. Instead, the user is able to choose a facial expression that will let them click and drag the computers mouse.


** Features **

Expressions Mouse lets you:
- move the mouse cursor using your facial orientation.
- click and drag using a specific facial expression.
- map different facial expressions to different computer hotkeys, such as CTRL-Z or ENTER.
- create custom facial gestures, such as a head shake or a head nod, and map those to inputs on the computer.


** Instructions **

This application requires running a separate application on your Mac computer. You can download that for free at facegames.co/expressions.

To use it, simply plug your iPhone into your computer via USB, and follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure both apps are running and that the phones camera can see your face.

The application works best when the phone is steady, so make sure to use a phone stand or another means of stabilizing it.
