It has already been shown in the past that it is possible to leverage tiny muscular contractions produced at will (e.g., by frowning) in order to give someone complete control over a PC [1]. The underlying interaction technique is ideal for persons with severe motor impairments who are in need for an alternative, non-standard way to operate a computer. This paper deals with a scanning-based computer application of that approach to enable its user to control the immediate environment, e.g., by making a phone call, toggling the lights, or sending particular Infra-Red (IR) remote signals. Although the software is primarily targeted at people with disabilities, it is ready --- and (in certain situations) even expected --- to be used by able-bodied individuals as well. A user study evaluating the remote control module of the system has been conducted with twelve non-impaired subjects, and the results are discussed herein. |
