A simplistic approach to design a prototype of smart home for the activation of home appliances based on Electrooculography(EOG)

In this paper, a concept of EOG based human machine interface (HMI) is proposed with the purpose of designing a smart home surroundings and helping disable human beings. This interface permits us to observe the motion of the eyes measuring the potential among the cornea and the retina. Eye movement can be recorded by the Quadriplegia and spinal cord injury patients as well as normal human being to carry out regular household duties, for examples to activate a device as a way to get attention or to control domestic home equipment while they're alone. This study takes a look at and investigates the reliability of EOG alerts for activating domestic home equipment. To make this viable, a living room with four home appliances is considered and the EOG signals are recorded for five eye direction when the subjects are sitting steadily. Therefore, this study provides a useful assistive tool for a disable user to carry out vital works in addition to for ordinary people.
