| Abstract | The advancement of artificial intelligence and computer vision has enabled innovative solutions for human–computer interaction, particularly benefiting individuals with physical disabilities. This paper presents BlinkMouse, a low-cost, webcam-based assistive system that enables hands-free virtual mouse control using eye movements and head gestures. The system employs open-source libraries such as OpenCV and Dlib to detect facial landmarks, track pupil motion, and recognize head gestures in real time. Eye movement controls the on-screen cursor, while predefined gestures such as nodding or tilting are mapped to mouse click actions. The proposed system eliminates the need for external sensors or wearable devices, offering a contactless, accessible, and affordable interaction model. Experimental evaluation demonstrates smooth, responsive performance across varying lighting conditions. BlinkMouse contributes to inclusive computing by empowering users with limited mobility to interact with computers independently, emphasizing the practical potential of AI in assistive technologies |
