The presented solution supports innovative ways of manipulating computer multimedia content, such as: static images, videos and music clips and others that can be browsed subsequently. The system requires a standard web camera that captures images of the user face. The core of the system is formed by a head movement analyzing algorithm that finds a user face and tracks head movements in real time. Head movements are tracked with a Finite State Machine. State transitions are triggered by various spatial and temporal conditions. Whenever a state of the machine changes, an event is sent to the GUI application supposed to react accordingly. The system is immune to the presence of many faces in a video stream; only one face is tracked. The application is especially suitable to standalone, multimedia terminals where users may get acquainted with a company profile, situation layout or a store offer in a fast and convenient way. The application may also be used by disabled people.
