Abstract
Body parts have an important role in the life of a human being. In today’s era, smart phones have also become a part of these body parts virtually. Smart phones and touch devices are of different interaction medium and it has essentially become a part and parcel of our daily life; equipped with touch based screens and thus making the user to interact with the smart phone in a better way. The objective of our project is to use smart phones without using touch feature and use facial features to select the applications, thus making life more comfortable to the end users especially the people with amputated or no fingers. The invention of these smart phones played a vital role in improving the lives of the people with such disabilities. These smart phones will be equipped with both the types of features like touch screen with and without using hands.
