COMPUTER VISION INTERACTION FOR PEOPLE WITH

SEVERE MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS-In this paper we present the starting point of research in applying humancomputer

interaction (HCI) techniques to help people with cerebral palsy to use computers

via vision-based interaction. Our work includes the development and improvement of visionbased

assistive technology, which was tested in experiments with cerebral palsy users. A brief

review of current assistive technologies for severely physically impaired people and an

explanation of the developed applications of such technologies are also presented. The final

part of the paper describes the experimentation goals, process, and preliminary results.

Future work directions are also indicated.
