Resumo
The Hand Mouse browser extension presented in this paper enables
mouse control on web pages by means of the user’s hand gestures.
This tool aims to enhance flexibility and ergonomics, offering a
natural alternative to the traditional use of the mouse, potentially
reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The main innovations
of this paper are the usability studies within the extension‘s user
interfaces and the development of the gesture customization feature.
This allows the user to define and train the AI model used in the
software with new gestures to perform actions such as moving the
cursor, clicking, scrolling up, scrolling down, going back a page,
going forward a page and free movement.
