ABSTRACT
Paralyzed individuals face significant challenges in controlling their environment and communicating with others. Existing assistive technology systems is limited in their functionality, making it difficult for these individuals to maintain independence and engage with the world around them. This work seeks to address these challenges by developing an eye blink detection system that can provide paralyzed individuals with a means of communication and control. A review of the existing literature on eye blink detection systems and their applications has been conducted. Several studies have been identifiedthat demonstrate the potential of eye blink detection as a means of controlling various devices and inter- acting with computers. However, few of these systems are specifically designed for use by paralyzed individuals, and many require complex hardware and software con- figurations. The proposed eye blink detection system offers several advantages over existing assistive technology systems. It is low cost, easy to use, and highly accurate. It +is also highly customizable, allowing users to configure it to their specific needs and preferences. The system will be developed using open-source software and hardware, making it accessible to a wide range of users. This work aims to develop an eye blink detection system to assist paralyzed individuals in controlling their environment and communicating with others. The system will use an InfraRed Sensor to detect eye blinks, which will be interpreted as commands to control the system.
