Abstract
A pointer control for movement of a pointer or cursor across a computer display includes a movement sensor mounted on a headband to translate motions of a user's head into movements of the pointer. The movement sensor may be an inertia sensor. Wired and wireless configurations are provided. Selection switches for selection of the graphical elements indicated by the pointer are provided in an auxiliary keyboard module for mounting on the keyboard or alternately as foot operated switches. Add-on modules convert the head movement sensor to a hand-moved sensor. A laser pointer may be provided.
