Project B. Head-controlled Music Player
- This is a specification for a two-axis accelerometer. It can measure acceleration in two orthogonal directions (X and Y). This means that you can easily derive parameters like tilt, direction and speed.
- Here is a description of how an accelerometer works:
- This publication describes the application of artificial neural networks for processing and recognising head movement commands. What is useful for this project is their set of head movements such as "forward nod" and "forward hold".

- This publication describes the use of infrared sensors for detecting head movements to control a wheelchair. It is useful for their approach to understanding the possible range and mapping of head movements.
