12 Distinct Facial Gestures

Each gesture has its own configurable trigger threshold, sensitivity, and deadzone.

Head Look: 4 Directions

Direction Function
Look upTriggers assigned action when head tilts up past threshold
Look downTriggers assigned action when head tilts down past threshold
Look leftTriggers assigned action when head turns left past threshold
Look rightTriggers assigned action when head turns right past threshold

Point Tracker: 4-Axis Analog

Accurate X and Y axis analog control that works concurrently with all other gestures. Provides smooth, continuous movement based on head position.

  • Compatible with all trigger action types
  • Works simultaneously alongside Gesture Chains and Morse Chains
  • Ideal for gaming: analog stick control without hardware
  • Cursor control via Point Tracker currently in development

Map any gesture to any action

Every gesture and every Chain can trigger virtually any computer action.

โŒจ๏ธ

Key Presses & Macros

Single keys, keyboard shortcuts, or multi-key macros combining any number of key presses and mouse actions in sequence.

๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ

Mouse Functions

Left click, double click, right click, and scroll, all mappable to any gesture without touching the mouse.

๐ŸŽฎ

Xbox Controller Emulation

Full Xbox controller button mapping including analog stick emulation and trigger emulation. Play games with your face.

๐Ÿ’ป

System Commands

Command-line (CMD) commands and program launches. Map a gesture to open any app or run any script.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Display Text

Show custom text on screen with a gesture. Useful for quick communication, status messages, or visual feedback.

โœ‰๏ธ

Send Emails

Trigger an email send with a gesture, with pre-configured recipient, subject, and body. Useful for quick check-ins, alerts, or one-tap requests for help.

Four ways to fire each gesture

Each gesture supports four trigger modes so you control exactly how and when it fires.

Single Press

One activation per gesture. Like tapping a key. Fires once each time the gesture is detected.

Hold

Action fires continuously while the gesture is held.

Toggle

First gesture activates, second deactivates. Like caps lock: the command stays on until you gesture again.

Analog

Continuous proportional output based on gesture intensity. Designed for Xbox controller emulation and the Point Tracker.

Combo moves for your face

Gesture Chains let you sequence multiple gestures to trigger a single command or macro, like combo moves in a fighting game.

  • โ†’ Expand available commands far beyond the base 12 gestures
  • โ†’ Eliminate accidental triggers of critical commands by requiring deliberate sequences
  • โ†’ Create context-specific control schemes for different applications

Example Gesture Chain

Raise both brows โ†’ Open mouth
= Launch browser (or any command you assign)

Any gesture combination. Any command. No accidental triggers.

Morse Chain Example: Smile gesture
โ†’ short ยท short ยท long = open browser
โ†’ short = left click
โ†’ long = right click
โ†’ short ยท long = alt+tab
Unlimited distinct commands from a single gesture.

Unlimited commands from a single gesture

Morse Chains use short and long holds of a single gesture to trigger an unlimited number of distinct commands. Like Morse code, but with your face.

This is especially powerful for users who can only reliably control one or two gestures. They still get access to a full command vocabulary.

Global Settings

System-wide controls that apply across all gestures, giving you precise calibration for your unique facial range of motion.

โฑ

Hold Time for Trigger

How long a gesture must be held before it activates. Prevents micro-expressions from firing accidentally.

โณ

Cooldown

Minimum time between successive activations of the same gesture. Prevents rapid unintended repeat triggers.

ใ€ฐ๏ธ

Smoothing

Reduces noise and jitter in gesture detection. Especially useful for analog control and Point Tracker stability.

๐Ÿ”„

Head Tilt Compensation

Adjusts for head orientation changes so gestures trigger consistently even when you shift positions. (In development)

More control, your way

๐Ÿ”

System Toggle

Any gesture or Chain can be set to turn the system on and off. Instantly pause and resume FaceCommand without touching your keyboard. Useful when switching tasks or taking breaks.

๐Ÿ’พ

Profile Export & Import

Save and load complete gesture configurations. Share profiles with other users or switch between setups for different applications.

What we're still improving

FaceCommand is actively in development. Here's what's working and what's still being refined. No sugar-coating.

Even with a few gestures, full computer control is possible through Gesture Chains and Morse Chains.
