Smyle Mouse: Control your computer with just a smile!

Hands-free, voice-free controller for your computer or tablet.

The Smyle Mouse enables people with physical disabilities to control and interact with their computer or tablet using small head movements and facial expressions. The Smyle Mouse is hands-free, voice-free and does not use switches, puffers or external devices. The Smyle simply uses the device’s camera. Point, click, drag, and scroll by small head movements and facial expressions. 

The video below provides an overview of Smyle Mouse.

The next video demonstrates a 4 year old using Smyle Mouse to play a computer painting/coloring game. This video is not audio described. This is the text that appears in the video: 

“Meet Kennedy, she is 4 years old. She’s unable to use her hands. She’s controlling a computer with her face using the Smyle Mouse. For more information visit www.smylemouse.com.” In the video, this adorable little girl is sitting in a wheelchair in front of a computer. She slightly moves her head to position the visual cursor on the computer screen and then makes small movements with her mouth to select various colors on a paint board and to use a visual paint brush to mix those colors.
