K.C Baiju with his computer application control headset (CACH)
******************************************************
A
mouse operated without the aid of the hand is beyond imagination now,
but such a system has been developed by an engineer here for the
benefit of the physically challenged.
K.C.
Baiju, a Kerala State Electricity Board sub-engineer, who has invented
the computer application control headset (CACH), claims his new system
can be used in place of computer mouse without the support of head or
hand.
According to Baiju, who has many innovations to his
credit, including smart helmets for linemen, the CACH has a sensor
control circuit and a headphone. The circuit functions as per the
gravity control unit inside the circuit, which helps move the cursor
as per the movements of the head.
When you want to make a click,
you need to move your jaws alongside. For instance, if you move the
right jaw, a small projection connected to the headphone will
automatically be pressed. As a result, the pressure developed by the jaw
will help stop the functioning of the sensor-controlling circuit of
the headphone,” he explains.
He
has used the technology of a common mouse. “My prime aim was to make
the efforts of physically challenged techies easier. It is also cost-
effective and user-friendly,’’ he says claiming he had been
experimenting with this system in his computer for some time.
It
becomes operational only after sitting straight to the computer, he
says and adds he is trying to get the patent for it. He also asserts
it can be modified as a wireless system, installing special software in
the computer.
CACH will be
helpful not only for physically challenged but also government
employees, techies, receptionists and customer relations executives, he
claims.
