Vodafone India launched a new application called EVA Facial Mouse which allows you to control your smartphone with your face. The app was developed by Vodafone Spain Foundation for helping disabled people. This app is available in India on Vodafone’s social app hub and has so far received an astounding response from the users.
As per Census 2011, in India, out of the 121 Cr population, about 2.68 Cr persons are ‘disabled’ which is 2.21% of the total population. In an era where ‘inclusive development’ is being emphasized as the right path towards sustainable development, focused initiatives for the welfare of disabled persons are essential. This calls the need for strengthening and empowering the disabled in India. This is a small initiative from Vodafone for an inclusive growth. We are seeking a review opportunity for EVA Facial Mouse, as this is a revolutionary app for those who for some or the other reason cannot use their hands and are dependent on others for basic needs. This app is aiming to help some of that 2.21 % of affected people. Do gives it a try and let us know how it is.
Eva Facial Mouse is a free and open source application that allows the access to functions of a mobile device by means of tracking the user face captured through the frontal camera. Based on the movement of the face, the app allows the user to control a pointer on the screen (i.e., like a mouse), which provides direct access to most elements of the user interface. People with amputations, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or other disabilities may be beneficiaries of this app.
