!hands (code language for denying the use of hands) is an app based on machine learning, computer vision and computer audition which allows users to create paintings in real time without using the upper limbs. This app intends to make it possible for users in minority communities - as is the case with people with syndromes and diseases that affect the motor system or the nervous central system (which can also affect motor capacity) - to paint in an alternative way.
Try it HERE (compatible with Microsoft Edge)
The user can choose different colors and form patterns, with the brush being controlled by the central point between the user's eyes and the color settings, brush type and shape ( line or circle) activated by the user using voice commands.
This prototype was developed in collaboration with Agostinho Martins, Alexandra Silva, Amir Orouji, Lucilene Gomes, Nathaly Santos and Rita Moás
