Show HN: CheekyKeys – A Face-Controlled Keyboard

  • As an able bodied person, I see potential in mapping some of these to specific regular actions, rather than individual key presses. Using this, along with dictation and a keyboard/mouse combo could save a lot of time.

  • zoom in: eyes bulge

    zoom out: eyes squint

    These defaults seem like the exact opposite of how you use your eyes to look at real things. Cartoons are not good reference material for HUI (unless you want cartoonish outcomes).

  • As someone who has the bad habit of lying in bed at night with my laptop on my chest and my hands tucked into the sheets reading and watching things, I think this is great!

  • This seems somewhat more convenient than rolling your face across the keyboard, which was what first came to mind reading that title.

  • Doing it because you can aside, I feel like if you're a handicapped person with full control of your face voice dictation would probably be a better solution.

  • This not only types but you also get free face yoga :D

  • Love your repos

  • In before someone made a "my O face" joke.

  • backspace: duckface + double blink

    oh god haha
