An acquisition system captures electrooculograms and transmits them via the ZigBee protocol. The data acquired are analysed in real time using a microcontroller-based platform running the Linux operating system. The continuous wavelet transform and neural network are used to process and analyse the signals to obtain highly reliable results in real time. To enhance system usability, the graphical interface is projected onto special eyewear, which is also used to position the signal-capturing electrodes. Keywords: electrooculography; eye movement; human–computer interface; wavelet transform, neural network 1. Introduction Much research is under way into means of enabling the disabled to communicate effectively with a computer [1,2], as development of such means has the potential to enhance their quality of life considerably. Depending on users’ capabilities, systems such as speech recognition, brain-computer interfaces [3], and infrared head-operated joysticks [4], etc. may be employed for this purpose.  Sen
