Face Mouse is a free and open source software tool that uses the non-commercial FaceAPI from Seeing Machines. There are two versions of Face Mouse: "Face Mouse" and "Face Mouse with Click". The latter not only moves the mouse pointer with the user's head movements, but also left clicks when the user leaves the mouse pointer still in one place, allowing for mouse control to be operated with just Face Mouse.
