Eye-GUIDE (Eye-Gaze User Interface Design) Messaging for Physically-Impaired People

Eye-GUIDE is an assistive communication tool designed for the paralyzed or physically impaired people who were unable to move parts of their bodies especially people whose communications are limited only to eye movements. The prototype consists of a camera and a computer. Camera captures images then it will be send to the computer, where the computer will be the one to interpret the data. Thus, Eye-GUIDE focuses on camera-based gaze tracking. The proponent designed the prototype to perform simple tasks and provides graphical user interface in order the paralyzed or physically impaired person can easily use it.
