Hands free mouse: comparative study on mouse clicks controlled by humming

In this paper we present a novel method of simulating mouse clicks while the cursor is navigated by head movements tracked by webcam. Our method is based on simple hummed voice commands. It is fast, language independent and provides full control of common mouse buttons. Our method was compared with other three different methods in an experiment that proved its efficiency by means of task duration.
