Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a computer manipulation tool for the handicapped who cannot use a mouse. This tool provides mouse control of computers to people who cannot use their hands but who have good head control. This tool translates the movement of a region of the user's eye into movements of the computer mouse pointer, so it allows the user to smoothly move the cursor across the screen simply by moving his/her head without any attachment. In addition, it detects blinks and uses them to issue some mouse function can such as clicking mouse buttons to any application software without requiring any recompilation. Experimental results show the effectiveness of this tool.
