Inspiration

The main idea for the project came as one of our teammates suggested we should do something related to Divyands (People with disability ) she suggested us some of the works of Stephen Hawkins, a great researcher and an idol to many. With just two fingers he was able to write many theories. Deriving motivation from these people and determined to provide them with the luxury of using computers and typing, we have developed an eye-controlled keyboard that can be used to train physically disabled people to read and write just by blinking their eyelashes.

Feasibility and Project Explanation

This project is very useful for special people who suffer from problems related to paralysis, deaf and dumb and many more and because of which they face problems communicating. This project is based on Image processing and it uses libraries like Dlib, OpenCV, and other libraries with the help of which we would be able to detect points on the face like eyes.

After detecting eyes V.K will calculate the blinks and compare them with the standard MOSS codes with the help of blink detection and eye detection we are able to find out the Character which a person wants to express.

The keyboard is the typical device for interacting with computers. In this paper, we study a new keyboard design for people with disabilities. Basically, the keys on a keyboard are operated with the help of a person's eyes. An example could be taken of Stephen Hawkins a great researcher and idol to many with just two fingers he was able to write many theories and to them beyond what if he would be able to write using his eyes also.

How we built it

The whole project is being divided into phases they are as followed :

Phase 1:- Planning In this we planned the output with my teammate Phase 2:- Environment setup In this phase we set up all the necessary environments like installing libraries, setting up python, and many more. Phase 3:- User Interface We planned the UI that how it will look in future Phase 4:- Implement User Interface We implement UI Phase 5:- Back Hand We work on the backhand. Phase 6:-Integration We integrate the product.
