Hello,
I have never heard of camera mouse. I have never used it. I have no
connections to the makers/designers of this except I did graduate from
Boston University.  After this disclosure, this program sounds great if it
actually works. It is free and claims to:

Camera Mouse is a free program that enables you to control the mouse
pointer on your computer screen just by moving your head.

To use Camera Mouse you need a Windows 7 or Vista or XP computer and a
webcam.

The program was developed to help people with disabilities use the
computer. The main audience for this program is people who do not have
reliable control of a hand but who can move their head. People with
Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic
Brain Injury, various neurological disorders use this program and its
predecessors to run all types of computer software.

Camera Mouse works as a mouse replacement system for Windows computers so
it should work with just about any application program. For example people
use Camera Mouse with entertainment programs, education programs,
communication programs, web browsers, and so on. (*See the Downloads
page<http://cameramouse.org/downloads.html> for
some of the programs and websites that we have used with Camera Mouse.*)
Camera Mouse works best with application programs that require only a mouse
and a left click and that do not have tiny targets. It's easier to use
Camera Mouse with application programs that do not require extreme accuracy.

It can be found at http://cameramouse.org/

It would be interesting to hear if this is as good as it seems...

Take care

Greta
