HeadMouse 2 is a interesting software program for computer users who cannot or do not like to use their hands when controlling the computer mouse. The software is compatible with most Windows operating systems including Windows Vista or Windows XP. The only other requirement is a webcam with a minimum resolution of 640×480. The program will initiate a user face detection during first run to calibrate the webcam for best results.

Is this based on the same technology that software that was supposed to emulate what the wii did on the PC? I can't remember the name.

Serching the DC forum, maybe?

Zing! Ouch, another validation to the accusation of Ghacks scraping DC forum contents.

martin can't help it if the dc crowd is a bit ahead of the curve sometimes

Well...it was news to me at least.

I don't need a webcam to accomplish this. I can control the mouse perfectly well by pushing it with my nose. The tricky bit comes in trying to watch both monitors while doing so.

You should wear a beaked doctor's mask (a.k.a. plague mask)

I knew that medical bills were large, but that is excessive!
