Using Cephable’s Expression Controls

1

Expression Control Demo

The associated video tutorial shows Expression Controls in action with a Wordle Game. The screenshots show the Expression Control overlay and the Wordle Game. Julia is using voice to tell Wordle what word to type, a head tilt forward to press the enter key, and a head tilt left to have Cephable press the Delete key 5x to clear the whole word.

Expression Control Demo

Before trying to use expression controls, make sure your profile has at least 1 control that is using Expression Controls. Look for this icon on the left of your list of controls. (face with an arrow)

3

From the home screen of Cephable, press “Start Expression Controls” to open the overlay. Notice that the same “face with an arrow” icon appears on this button.

4

The buttons on the Expression Control Overlay give you more options.

*Reset Baseline – this is helpful to reset on occasion, especially if you change position
*Pause/Play – temporarily pause/restart expression controls
*Toggle Face Lines – turn pink/blue lines on/off
*Switch Camera – switch between cameras if you have more than one connected to your computer.

You can also drag the corners of your overlay to make it larger or smaller. Or you can drag it to a new place on your screen.

Close the overlay by pressing the red button in the upper left corner.

Here is the current list of all the Expression Controls available within Cephable at this time.
