Abstract

A human-machine interface can detect when a user's ear (12) is pulled back to initiate a plurality of procedures. Such procedures include turning on a TV (34) using a laser (20) attached to the user (14), starting an additional procedure by speaking a command, communicating with other users in environments which have high ambient noise, and interacting with the internet. Head position sensors 52 and 54 are used to detect the position of the head of a user and to either initiate a procedure if a characteristic of the head position or positions meets a certain criteria, or to pass the head position information to another device.
