Tiivistelmä
This thesis proposes a wireless mouse system designed to enhance computer accessibility for individuals with pointer device use restrictions. The system combines an accelerometer and optical sensor technologies with an Arduino Nano33 IoT board, enabling alternative input methods like head movements and eye blinks for cursor control. The motivation is to provide a cost-effective solution that extends beyond traditional hand disabilities.
The proposed system offers wireless capability, eliminating physical connections and providing freedom of movement. With an approximate cost of 150 euros, it is affordable and accessible to a wider user base. Compatibility with various alternative input methods makes it suitable for individuals with different pointer device use restrictions.
Existing alternatives like mouth sticks or voice recognition and other consistent systems may have precision or ease of use limitations. This system aims to provide an affordable solution that is accessible to individuals with pointer device use restrictions, making it suitable for enhancing computer accessibility.
In conclusion, this research contributes to the field of computer accessibility by providing a wireless mouse system that enhances inclusivity and equal opportunities for individuals with pointer device use restrictions. The system's affordability, wireless capability, and compatibility with alternative input methods make it a valuable solution for accessible computer interaction.
