Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to implement a touchless user interface that runs in the web browser for interacting with a website, using the input received through running face tracking and facial expression recognition on a video stream from a webcam.
For this, a high fidelity prototype is developed as a web application, aiming to perform the following operations on the demo website created as a part of the prototype: point and click, scrolling, and paging. For point and click operations, two different concepts are presented: the point-pointer and the area-pointer, which enables performing the operations on the point and the area, respectively.
The prototype that performs the aimed operations is successfully implemented, showing that it is feasible to create a touchless user interface that runs in the web browser. In this thesis, techniques used for implementing the prototype are documented, as well as limitations found during the development process.
