Introduction

The project presented here describes an alternative method for controlling a mouse using a laser pointer.

Objectives
This application is helpful for physically challenged people as it provides hands free operation.
Through a standard laser pointer , we can revolutionized the presentation industry by introducing a new freedom of movement. Replacement Interface for a Wireless Mouse.

Applications
This application can be used by physically challenged people as it includes hands free operation

Laser light A laser light can be fitted with a head band or it can be fitted with spectacles.

Applications
Through a standard laser pointer , we can revolutionized the presentation industry by introducing a new freedom of movement.

Applications

Replacement Interface for a Wireless Mouse

Algorithm

Find the brightest area on the screen.

Average positions of all bright points on the screen to extract pointer location.

Transform the resulting coordinates to screen coordinates.

If there is a click command given, trigger a mouse click event on the updated pointer location

Update pointer position.

Future Improvements
Finding a small spot on the screen is problematic due to high rates of noise.

Problem

Use an infrared camera and laser pointer let us see only the laser pointer and ignore background noise.

Solution

Future Improvements
Mapping of the laser pointer from the screen to actual projection screen may not be precise

Problem

Using the concept of pattern recognition, we can directly point the laser pointer on the projection screen

Solution

Ethical Considerations

Dont point lasers in peoples eyes or any light reflecting surface!

Try to avoid the green color laser diode as it is most harmful to the human eyes.

Conclusion
Our goal in this project was to design alternative system for controlling mouse cursor movements and mouse clicks events. The solution described here answer the problem that presented above. The solution is helpful for physically challenged people as it provides hands free operation.
