Hands-free Gaming Controller

本研究旨在探讨一种适合运动障碍者的游戏无障碍装置设计。该设备将为所有游戏玩家提供免提访问，但特别是对于那些身体限制的人，使用专门设计的头部单元的运动跟踪来控制两个操纵杆控制器。此外，快速语音识别（RSR）将用于访问游戏控制器中常见的其余控件。该设备有三个部分：头部单元、外壳和图像传感器。头部单元包含两个用于跟踪玩家的头部运动的光指示器，并且图像传感器捕获指示器的运动。外壳有两个部分，第一部分将是收集运动和语音数据的人机接口，第二部分将是机器接口，其中所有解释的数据将通过USB通信发送到游戏系统（或个人台式计算机）。

This project investigates the design of a game accessibility device for the disabled gamers with motor impairments. This device would provide hands free accessibility to all gamers, but in particular to those with physical limitations to control the two joystick controller using motion tracking of a specially designed head unit. In addition, rapid speech recognition (RSR) will be utilized for accessing the remaining controls found common in gaming controller. This device has three parts: Head Unit, Enclosure and Image sensors. The head unit contains two light indicators for tracking the head movement of the gamer and the image sensors capture the motion of the indicators. The enclosure has two parts, first part would be a human interface which would collect motion and speech data, and the second part would be a machine interface, where all the interpreted data would be sent to the game system (or personal desktop computer) via USB communication.
