Abstract :
In this paper a new vision based interface (VBI) for children with cerebral palsy is presented. The VBI is implemented for the interaction between children and computer. The VBI detects and tracks the movement of the hand, foot or head of the user. These movements are translated into movements of the cursor on the screen of the computer. The evaluation of system user-VBI is based on HAAT model. The experimental results show four vase studies of children, when they carried out different tasks with the computer.
