ABSTRACT
In this paper, we have proposed a novel design for a vision based unistroke keyboard system for the disabled. The keyboard layout considers the commonly used character patterns, which makes it convenient for the user to type. In addition to this, Shift functionality is provided to accommodate a larger set of characters. A webcam is positioned so as to monitor the keyboard and the characters are identified based on the laser pointer which the user can control by minor head movements. Experimental results demonstrate that the design achieves very promising results, thus establishing a baseline for such models in this domain.

Gesture keyboard requiring only one camera
UIST '11 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 24th annual ACM symposium adjunct on User interface software and technologyIn this paper, we propose a novel gesture-based virtual keyboard (Gesture Keyboard) of QWERTY key layout requiring only one camera. Gesture Keyboard tracks the user's fingers and recognizes gestures as the input, and each virtual key of it follows a ...
Beyond the constraints of QWERTY keyboard: challenges to provide alternative input methods for Japanese older adults
UAHCI'07: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Universal access in human computer interaction: coping with diversityStandard QWERTY keyboards are considered as a major source of reluctance towards computer usage by Japanese elderly, because of their limited experience with Western typewriters and the high cognitive demand involved in typing Japanese characters with ...
The Tap Strap 2: Evaluating Performance of One-Handed Wearable Keyboard and Mouse
HCI International 2021 - Late Breaking Papers: Multimodality, eXtended Reality, and Artificial IntelligenceAbstractThis paper presents an evaluation of Tap Strap 2, a one-handed wearable keyboard that uses tap combinations to type characters. The purpose of the Tap Strap 2 is to give the user a portable keyboard that is easier to use for mobile devices than ...
