Resumen:
This paper proposes a Real-Time Home Devices Control System based on the processing of the user´s pupil position. A low-cost method is proposed to assist people with reduced mobility, unable to handle any type of device manually. The system was tested using a television and the software "Plaphoons" as test devices. It is capable of identifying up to six different action commands. The method allows to identify if the user is looking towards the screen and uses this information to determine if you want to perform some command. Each time a command is identified, a signal is sent to an electronic interface that allows to operate a universal remote control adapted for that purpose.The system was successfully tested in real cases by patients of the Cilsa ONGinstitution. The tests performed showed that the system is capable of being usedsuccessfully by users of different ages and with different degrees of motor disability.
