Technology has big presence in our lives and we are surrounded by lot of peripheral devices supposed to make our daily life easier; TV, computer, cellular phone and internet for example. The way we interact with these devices is critical for making them accessible and useful. This article presents an alternative, universal, non invasive and wireless interface to control peripheral devices by means of head movements, which is patent pending. The interface is expected to be a communication alternative for many users with mobility impairments in upper-extremities, enabling interaction with most of external devices needed for developing a normal life activity, gaining autonomy and independence. The interface is non-invasive, light weight and wireless, avoiding uncomfortable use, allowing a long term use and minimizing visual and ergonomic impact.
