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 PRO assistive glasses

GLASSOUSE — Your head moves the cursor. That's it.

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.

  • Pairs via Bluetooth to any device in under 60 seconds
  • Works with iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux
  • Lightweight — comfortable enough for all-day wear
  • Adjustable sensitivity for different head motion ranges
  • Compatible with on-screen keyboards and iPhone Switch Control
  • Discreet design — looks like regular glasses in public

The GlassOuse pro glasses have been very useful for me as a quadriplegic. Just like any other smart device you have your technical issues but it can be easily resolved. They are a huge accessibility device that helps make my days much easier. With the GlassOuse pro glasses I can feel and be a lot more connected to the world. — Brittany Q.

Mac Pointer Control — Already on your Mac, completely free

If you use a Mac, full hands-free cursor control is built in at no cost. No extra hardware, no software to buy.

Head Pointer

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.

  • Works on every modern Mac with a front-facing camera
  • Adjust pointer speed and smoothing to match your range of motion
  • Pairs perfectly with GLASSOUSE for a fully hands-free setup

Facial Expressions as Clicks

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:

  • Eye Blink — left click, right click, or double-click
  • Raise Eyebrows — any pointer action
  • Open Mouth — click and hold / drag
  • Smile — custom action
  • Pucker Lips Left / Right — scroll or navigate
  • Scrunch Nose, Stick Out Tongue — additional mappings
💡

My setup — GLASSOUSE + Mac Pointer Control

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.

iPhone Switch Control tip: Combine GLASSOUSE with iPhone's built-in Switch Control (Settings → Accessibility → Switch Control) for full phone navigation using only head movement. Add Siri and you get hands-free calls, texts, and app control without ever touching the screen.

Tobii Dynavox TD I-Series

The TD I-Series is a Windows-based speech-generating device purpose-built for people with conditions like cerebral palsy, ALS, spinal cord injury, and Rett syndrome — anyone who doesn't have reliable head or hand mobility to work a regular keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. Eye tracking is the primary way to run it, built on more than 15 years of research and testing across different ethnicities, disabilities, eyewear, and lighting conditions, so it holds up in real rooms, not just a lab.

On a day when eye gaze isn't the easiest option, the device also supports fingers, switches, and other access methods — so it flexes with how someone's abilities change day to day.

  • Available in two sizes — TD I-13 and TD I-16
  • Water-resistant, anti-glare design built for indoor and outdoor use
  • TD Snap (symbol-based AAC) and Communicator 5 (text-based AAC) pre-installed
  • TD Control runs lights, doors, your phone, and other devices using only eye gaze
  • Partner Window supports more natural face-to-face conversation
  • Alternative access — fingers, switches, or head tracking — when eye gaze isn't the best fit that day
  • 5-year warranty included
What's included: adjustable base, charger, travel bag, ConnectIT mounting plate, and full documentation. Keyguards, mount converters, and extended-run power banks are available separately.
Funding & pricing: pricing isn't published on the product page — Tobii Dynavox has a dedicated funding page and e-funding portal to help work through insurance, Medicaid waiver, and other coverage options. View TD I-Series ↗

Eyegaze Edge

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.

  • Choice of Encore camera (<0.45° accuracy, wider working distance) or Prime camera (<0.1° accuracy, tightest precision)
  • Eyeworld software for full computer access and AAC communication
  • Eyegaze Connect controls an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC using eye movement alone
  • UIRT environmental control — lights, locks, temperature, and more
  • 4 mounting options: articulating arm, wheelchair mount, rolling floor stand, table clamp
  • Internal battery runs up to 3.5 hours; optional Endurance Packs add up to 10 hours each
  • Full 1-year warranty, a year of tech support, on-site installation, and user/caregiver training included
Mounting & portability: four mount styles cover wheelchair use, bedside/tabletop use, and rolling floor setups, so the same unit can move between a chair, a desk, and a bed.

TD I-Series vs. Eyegaze Edge

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.

TD I-Series — built around communication. TD Snap and Communicator 5 are the centerpiece, the case is water-resistant and anti-glare for actually being out in the world, it comes in two sizes, and it carries a longer 5-year warranty. If the main need is a dependable speech-generating device that can also run a phone and smart-home devices, this is the more purpose-built option.
Eyegaze Edge — built around full computer access. It runs on real PC hardware (Core Ultra 5, 120Hz PixelSense display), offers a choice between two camera options depending on how much tracking precision someone needs, and Eyegaze Connect lets the same eye tracking control an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. It's the stronger pick for someone who wants broad computer use — schoolwork, browsing, email — with AAC as one piece of that rather than the whole device. Its warranty (1 year) is shorter than the TD I-Series's.

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.
