Head movement pans the cursor, jaw clenching triggers a left click via EMG electrodes, and eye blinks (single triple or double) handle right-click and drag via EOG signals. The project demonstrates how accessible input devices can be built from off-the-shelf components as an alternative to expensive commercial solutions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
