Google develops facial-controlled mouse

Project Gameface targets disabled gamers

Google has unveiled a new gaming-focused project that allows users to control a mouse solely through facial movements. They call it "Project Gameface" and it was developed in collaboration with gamer Lance Carr, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, a group of diseases that cause the body's muscles to weaken.

There are already mice that can be controlled with head movements, but Project Gameface has also implemented functionality to make specific facial movements respond to actions such as mouse clicks or other shortcuts. You can see how it works in the video above.

Google has released Project Gameface as open source code and it can be downloaded from GitHub here.
