FaceNav 2.01 is Early Access Donationware: Please join our network of users and share your experiences with us!
FaceNav's Three Modes:
Joystick mode for mouse emulation to navigate the Internet and control the computer browser integrates nose tracking with facial gesture recognition such as smiling.
Joystick mode has two circles: There is an inner green circle and an outer red circle. The cursor is marked by a cross hair in the video window and the design of the program is to allow small movements to move the cursor and 360° depending on how the person wants to move.
There are voice commands available and the smile function can be assigned to the left mouse click.
The red circle is designed to stop movement so that people don't strain themselves moving too far left or right or up and down so that they're just working within the two circles. The mouse will accelerate with movement and any feedback by early users is really most welcomed!
Direct tracking mode can be used for music and art which allows for quick responsww0wes and potentially for being able to do drawing and being able to do different types of musical applications. Recommend Eye Play Chords software (see demo).
Video Game mode -- uses keyboard controls. This function is for computer games where you can use the smiling function and then emulate keyboard strokes with the software (see demos below).
