“…Therefore, how to lower or even tear down the barriers between computers and people with disabilities is a demanding task. Recently, advances in hardware and software have led to assistive technology systems of every variety [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. These various systems may allow people with disabilities to use their limited voluntary motions to communicate with family and friends, access computers, and control TV and air conditioner, etc.…”

ÖZETÇE Türkiye'de sekiz milyonun üzerinde engelli birey bulunmaktadır. Engelli nüfus içerisinde en büyük oranı ise ortopedik engelliler oluşturmaktadır. Sadece başlarını hareket ettirebilen ortopedik engelli bireylerin hayatlarını kolaylaştıracak uygulamaların geliştirilmesi önemlidir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, literatürde yaygın olarak kullanılan iki adet yüz izleme yönteminin farklı çözünürlükteki görüntüler ile verimliliği değerlendirilmiştir. Yöntemlerden bu türdeki uygulamalar için daha iyi sonuç verebilecek olan ortaya konmuştur. ABSTRACTThere are over eight million disabled people available in Turkey. The biggest proportion of this disabled population is formed by orthopedic disabled people. An orthopedic disabled person who's only capable move head to some directions needs applications that make their life simpler. Therefore in this study two popular face tracking methods were applied to different resolution of videos and efficiency was evaluated. Then from one of this face tracking method which will give better results was selected.

Virtual reality can provide the means of computer interaction for disabled people. There are many methods for aiding disabled people to communicate with computer; however some of them may require high amount of processing and cannot be implemented in real-time applications. In addition, many methods may require additional equipment to be attached to the users, which can reduce freedom of movement and increase cost of the system. In this article, we propose a real time, low cost and hands free method for typing; only utilizing user's head movements. Head movement detection is done by a color-marker discrimination algorithm, which compares differences between RGB, hue and saturation components of the markers and the environment. The method has shown to be adoptable to different lighting conditions. Also, trained users showed to be able to type a text with a reasonable speed (4.5 s for each character), and with a low error rate (0.0% to 5.5%).
