From GLASSOUSE glasses to Mac's built-in facial gesture controls — here's how to get full control of your phone or computer with your head.
GLASSOUSE looks exactly like a normal pair of glasses. Put them on, pair to Bluetooth, and your head movements become cursor movements. A gentle bite on the included sip switch clicks. That's all it takes to use your phone, tablet, or computer completely hands-free.
Pairs in under 60 seconds to virtually any Bluetooth device — iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, or Linux. No calibration lab. No complicated setup. No technician required. Just glasses that work.
If you use a Mac, full hands-free cursor control is built in at no cost. No extra hardware, no software to buy.
Go to System Settings → Accessibility → Motor → Pointer Control → Head Pointer. Enable it, and your Mac's front camera starts tracking your face — translating head movements directly into cursor movements. No calibration lab, no technician, no purchase required.
Under Pointer Control → Alternate Pointer Actions, enable the toggle that lets facial expressions act as mouse buttons. Then open Expressions to assign specific face movements to specific actions.
Available expressions you can map to clicks and actions:
I use GLASSOUSE to control my cursor on the screen, and then I use Pointer Control through the Accessibility features in my MacBook to handle left click, right click, and everything else. The glasses also give you the option to connect multiple switches — including a bite switch — and they all work really well. It's a clean, reliable combination that gives you full control of a computer without using your hands at all.
The Eyegaze Edge is Eyegaze Inc.'s eye-driven tablet system, built for people who've lost reliable use of their hands or voice — including ALS, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and locked-in diagnoses. Two cameras track eye movement 60 times a second and turn a glance into a click, so someone can write, browse the web, do schoolwork, and stay in touch with people using only their eyes. Calibration takes under 15 seconds.
Underneath, it's real PC hardware — a 13" PixelSense Flow touchscreen at 2880×1920 resolution with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage — so it's built to run full computer access, not just a communication app.
Both are eye-controlled systems built for people with little or no reliable head or hand mobility, and both work well for ALS, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, MS, and similar conditions. The real difference is what each one is built around.
In short: choose the TD I-Series if communication is the priority and durability/warranty matters most. Choose the Eyegaze Edge if broad computer access and top-tier tracking precision matter most.
