INTRODUCTION
Many sophisticated devices made interaction with computer easy Still physically disabled individuals are deterred from

using computers
No inexpensive systems that deliver the true power and ease of today's computers Eye-tracking hardware using electrooculography

ELECTROOCULOGRAPHY
Measure eye movements
Skin electrodes to detect potential differences Cornea-retinal potential

EOG - How it works?

Two electrodes to the right and left of the outer canthi (D-E)-detect horizontal

movement
Another pair above and below the eye (B-C) - detect vertical movement Reference electrode placed on the forehead (A)

Electrodes - Reusable Ag-AgCl

biopotential skin electrodes or grass

electrodes

EOG signal changes in microvolts for each degree of eye

movement with respect to the angle of movement

EOG Vs EEG
EOG signal measurements are much easier than EEG
Higher amplitude than EEG signals EOG based systems are less expensive, efficient and practical compared with EOG

CONCLUSION
Man Machine Interface
Sense eye movement based on corneal-retinal potential difference Inexpensive yet reliable Codify ocular actions as commands and apply them to

mobility
