Gesture controlled human-computer interface for the disabled.

Background: The possibility of using a computer by a disabled person is one of the difficult problems of the human-computer interaction (HCI), while the professional activity (employment) is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life, especially for disabled people. The aim of the project has been to propose a new HCI system that would allow for resuming employment for people who have lost the possibility of a standard computer operation.

Material And Methods: The basic requirement was to replace all functions of a standard mouse without the need of performing precise hand movements and using fingers.
