Semanux

Look, no hands!

Operate your computer in the best way – yours! With Semanux Access.

For example like this:

  • Just by moving your head you can control the mouse pointer and write texts.

    Additionally trigger actions with your facial expressions only. For example, you can open your mouth to click.

  • Just by moving your head you can control the mouse cursor and surf the web.

    Trigger additional actions with special hardware: you can of course use well-known controllers, such as those from Xbox and PlayStation, but pedals and other specialized buttons are also no problem.

  • By moving your eyes, you can control the mouse pointer and use a pedal to trigger a click, for example.

    Thus, interaction with the computer is possible even with minimal movements.

Without providing payment details. No automatic subscription. No hidden costs.

Use all input options individually or combine them as you like. Whatever works best for you.

  • Eye control

    With Semanux Access, your gaze can allow you full control over your computer. Using your eyes alone, you can select buttons with a longer gaze or speed up your experience by combining eye control with other inputs – even faster than many would with a mouse and keyboard!

    Semanux Access is compatible with the Skyle eye trackers from eyeV. In the Semanux Access for Skyle bundle, you can purchase Semanux Access together with a compatible eye tracker.

  • Head movement

    By moving your head, you can move the mouse pointer and activate buttons. You can also use our virtual keyboard to write text! With our virtual keyboard you can even write texts with it comfortably!

    With Semanux Access, head control is possible without expensive hardware. You only need a webcam – our artificial intelligence does the rest.

  • Facial expressions

    Your mouth opens in amazement at the many input options? Then you have already discovered another input possibilities in Semanux Access.

    In Semanux Access you can use different facial expressions to control your computer. From opening your mouth, to laughing, to blinking. Again, all you need is a webcam.

  • Humming

    You like to hum to yourself? Even with that, you can use Semanux Access to operate your computer. "Hmm, interesting" you think?

    Humming as an input possibility is already available as an early test version in Semanux Access. We are curious how you will use it!

  • Pedal

    Your feet are already wiggling with excitement about the many input options? With a cheap pedal you can use your urge to move to trigger clicks or to quickly type a text.

    Semanux Access supports many pedals with USB connection – without extensive setup. Plug in and start wibbling!

  • Controller

    Why should gamepads only be good for gaming? Left-click on the A key, right-click on the shoulder key and move the cursor with the analog stick. And off you go with the Excel marathon!

    Semanux Access supports many types of Microsoft Xbox controllers and compatible models. And if you do want to use your controller for gaming, you can quickly and easily pause Semanux Access.

Don't let anything stop you. Thanks to intelligent controls with nothing missing.

Trace

With Semanux Access, the trace is your connection to the computer. You can move it by turning your head to the left, right, up or down. If you want to use a controller, you can also move the analog stick. And if you have an eye tracker, you can control the trace with your gaze.

Clicking

Clicking means pressing and releasing a button on the computer mouse. With Semanux Access you don't need a mouse, but click with the trace. When clicking, you can zoom in so that you always hit the right spot. And of course Semanux Access can also do double-click, right-click and middle-click.

Scrolling

Scrolling means moving content up or down on the screen. Instead of turning the mouse wheel forwards or backwards, Semanux Access makes it easy: in scroll mode, all you have to do is turn your head up or down. If you have a controller, you can also move the analog stick.

Drag and drop

Drag and drop is the act of holding down a mouse button while moving the mouse. With Semanux Access, you select the start and end points when dragging and dropping and the rest happens automatically.

Magnifier menu

With the magnifier menu you can hit any spot on the screen with pixel precision. You will see an enlarged view of the screen that you can move around. You can then perform the desired action at the target.

Action menu

The action menu allows you to quickly perform actions on the spot. It opens right at the trace and has the most important actions you need.

Precision mode

Normally, the trace moves relatively quickly so that you can get anywhere quickly. To hit small targets, you can use the precision mode to move the trace slowly and accurately. To do this, simply keep your mouth open or press your button or a button on your controller.

Virtual keyboard

With the virtual keyboard, you can write texts without a real keyboard. Just like on a smartphone, you only need to type a few letters to select the desired word from the list of automatic word suggestions. And of course you can also use special keys, perform keyboard shortcuts and use emojis with Semanux Access.

Pause

With the pause function, you can pause Semanux Access at any time to watch videos, read texts or play games with different controls. It is therefore easily accessible at all times. But most importantly, you can of course end the pause again without mouse and keyboard.

Automatic click

The automatic click is for when you want to perform many clicks quickly and easily without activating the click action every time. In this mode, you click automatically when you hold the trace at a certain point.

Settings

You can use the settings of Semanux Access to customize all functions exactly as you wish. For example, you can set how Semanux Access looks, which input methods you want to use and how, or whether you prefer the trace to be fast and reactive or precise and smooth.
