How does Camera Mouse work?
Connect a USB video camera (webcam) to the computer. Put the camera on the monitor looking at you. Start up Camera Mouse. Your moving image will appear in the Camera Mouse window. Use the mouse to click on a feature on your face to track. Some unique area of the face. We usually use the inside edge of an eyebrow or eye or the area between the nose and the mouth. A small green square appears at the feature being tracked. As you move your head the square moves with it in the image. Now press the Scroll Lock key or the Ctrl key or just wait for 4 seconds. The Camera Mouse program takes over control of the mouse pointer on the screen. As you move your head the mouse pointer moves accordingly. If you move the mouse itself (or press the Scroll Lock key or Ctrl key) the control returns to the mouse. You can adjust the settings by clicking on the Camera Mouse Settings button at the bottom of the window. Here you can change the gains and turn on clicking. Clicking is done using “dwell time,” by
