Due to the advancement of visual interface, the importance of mouse has increased. Imagine a computer without a mouse, pretty scary already. Though mouse is common to control the cursor but you can also use keyboard to do so.
Today I will show you another alternative, the webcam. Sounds strange, but still it is possible. By the end of this post you will be able to control the cursor with the help of a webcam and of course, your face.
Alright! Lets Begin.
>> Download and install this software.
>> After complete installation, a setup wizard will appear. If not, then click on configuration > wizard.

>> You will see many option during the wizard. We are concerned with certain ones. For example in tracker setup, select automatic detection and disable if no face found.
>> In next step, your face will be detected. Move your head up/down left/right for proper detection.
>> Next comes the pointer speed. Select a decent speed. I prefer 8 for both X and Y axis.
>> Now you have to tell that whether it should perform the click function for your or not. In order to fully enjoying this program, keep it enabled.
>> We are good to go. Click on finish to start using the program.
>> You will notice a function bar at the top. It is used to directly enable/disable certain features.
>> Coming to the main interface. You will see a red box around your face that means that your face is detected. Move your head around to see it working.
>> Use green check button to enable, red cross button to disable the cursor movement via webcam. If you don't like the function bar at the top, click on the next up arrow button.
Sure it is fun. Practice a bit and you will get the desired results. Bye bye mouse, you will be missed :)
