This FREE software tracks
your eyes, nose, or mouth with a webcam to control the
mouse on your computer.
In the video below,
we explain how to use CameraMouse software with a webcam to generate speech output from Alexicom AAC
pages using only head movements. We briefly cover CameraMouse parameters, including
clicking, smoothing, gain, and exclude, and then demonstrate Alexicom
dropdown list page selection and button presses.
Who can benefit from Camera
Mouse?
Camera Mouse is intended for people who cannot move their hands to
control a mouse. To use Camera Mouse a person needs to be able to control the movement
of his or her head.
X-Mouse
Button Control is a free windows application to remap your mouse
buttons.
This
software will allow you to navigate through your pages with only
limited use of your finger or fingers.
In the video below,
we explain how to associate the left and right
mouse buttons with keystrokes, essentially turning the mouse into a two-switch switching
device. We also show how to add a third switch for more advanced users.
In our second X-Mouse video, we explain how to configure
the mouse wheel as the primary means of navigation and selection. The left and right mouse buttons become secondary
inputs. This allows for faster selection of controls, but requires use of the mouse wheel. Again, no hand movement is
necessary. Alexicom AAC pages are navigated using only one's fingers.
The
following information comes from the X-Mouse Button Control website:
You are able to provide an application specific
mappings, which means one application can use the mouse
differently from another. This is useful for games which do
not inherently support the extended mouse buttons, because you
can map keys to each button.
What's more, the list of functions available to map to
is somewhat more comprehensive than the 32bit MS Intellimouse
Software can handle, including things like:
Copy/Cut/Paste
Volume Up/Down/Mute
Media Player control
Send a custom keystroke sequence
Launch your email (or any other)
application.
Capture screen (or active window) image to
clipboard.
Click-Drag [Sticky Buttons].
Save and restore desktop icon positions.
Vista (and Windows 7) support
including some Vista/7 only featurs such as 'Flip
3D'.
