Digital Drawing Machine

I designed this drawing tool for people with hand disabilities who cannot draw normally. Users can complete most functions of the drawing software on this platform by moving their heads and speaking, such as controlling pressure, switching brushes, undoing, erasing, saving drawings, and more. This project utilizes a TensorFlow model, and the entire platform is web-based, so any user can open the webpage on their own computer to use it without needing additional equipment.
Learning Outcomes:
Before taking this class, my understanding of "input" design was quite limited. For example, when it came to mobile apps, I assumed users would interact by tapping with their fingers. However, in this class, I learned about a wide variety of different input methods. In my project, I maximized the use of facial motion and voice as two primary forms of interaction, and throughout this process, I gained many new insights into these types of input methods.
