Camera Mouse Program
(If you have difficulties getting Camera Mouse 2010 to run because you have an older computer, please try Camera Mouse 2008 instead. Or if even that doesn't work, try the much larger version of Camera Mouse 2008 with the .NET framework included.)

Camera Mouse Applications
Aliens and Paint. These are a simple shoot the Aliens video game program and a Paint program that work well with Camera Mouse. No clicking required. All-time favorites. Good for learning to use Camera Mouse.

Midas Touch is a free onscreen keyboard program for spelling and speaking messages that works well with Camera Mouse for users who have a high degree of accuracy with Camera Mouse.
Double-Clicking
ClickAid is a free program from Polital Enterprises that allows for double-clicking, right-clicking, dragging, and other mouse activities beyond the clicking of the left mouse button performed by Camera Mouse. Point-N-Click is a similar program but with many more options (and it's a bit more complex), also free from Polital Enterprises.
An alternative is to use Dwell Clicker, a free program from Sensory Software. Dwell Clicker is an easy to use program that allows left-click, right-click, double click and dragging through its own dwell click software (rather than using the dwell click capabilities in the Camera Mouse Settings Window).
