AN EYE BALL MOVEMENT BASED WHEEL CHAIR OPERATING SYSTEM FOR PHYSICALLY DIABLED PERSONS
project center in Tirunelveli
Statistics suggests that there are
11,000 new cases of quadriplegia every year in United States of America. Great
people like Stephen Hawking and Max Brito have been suffering from this
crippling phenomenon. Our project is an attempt to make lives of the people
suffering from this phenomenon simple and by simpler we mean self-reliant,
which will thereby reinstate their confidence and their happiness. The idea is
to create an Eye Monitored System which allows movement of the patient’s
wheelchair depending on the eye movements. We know that a person suffering from
quadriplegia can partially move his eyes and tilt his head, thus presenting an
opportunity for detecting those movements. We have created a device where a
patient sitting on the Wheel Chair assembly looking directly at the IR sensor,
is able to move in a direction just by looking in that direction. The IR
signals are monitored by an embedded system, which will then guide the motors
to move in a particular direction. The system is cost effective and thus can be
used by patients spread over a large economy range.
