Abstract :
In this paper, an face-tracking camera-based assistive technology is presented for extracting head and face based gestures which are delivered to individuals who are blind. The interface is capable of tracking the head and face of an interaction partner and delivering them through the recently developed VibroGlove interface. The construction of the interface as well as its application are detailed.
