Abstract(s)
Senior citizens, very young children and users with different kinds of impairments are often prevented from enjoying the benefits of latest technologies for assistance, accessibility and usability, often due to unfriendly or expensive interfaces. We present a friendly
and inexpensive system that allows one to interact with a computer, using only a few distinct but intuitive gestures which are translated into mouse actions. The gestures
can be carried out by the head or by the hand, which are automatically selected, without any kind of prior calibration
or special environment. For each kind of user a different frontend is presented, adapted to specific needs, nevertheless access to all the functionalities of the operating systems can be given if requested.
