Hands-free software program

From BrisbaneTimes.com.au (4 Jan 2008):

Look ma, no hands!
A new hands-free computer system which promises to make computers easier to use for the disabled has been designed by a group of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) undergraduate students.

“Basically what this system does is use infrared to detect movement off a reflector on a person’s head,” the system’s software package designer, Herman Ngo, said.

“The system detects any small movements, moving a pointer on screen and then by using voice recognition the user can shout out commands, such as ‘click’, ‘open media player’, ‘open internet browser’, and it will all be done on screen.
