Desarrollo de una interfaz de detección de gestos faciales para la ejecución de comandos

Abstract

This article highlights the urgent need to develop accessible technological solutions, such as facial gesture-based control interfaces to improve the mobility and independence of people with mobility difficulties. These technologies, supported by facial recognition and computer vision, can significantly improve the quality of life of people with limitations in the mobility of their upper limbs, facilitating their interaction with devices without the need for manual controls. Globally, 15\% of the population lives with some disability, and in Ecuador, more than one million people face functional difficulties according to the 2022 census. Advances in this field are essential to promote inclusion and accessibility in society.
