AB  - People with body disabilities as a result of neurological diseases or physical 
      accidents, face daily troubles in some situations that require arm or finger 
      motions. Access to expensive assistive technologies can be difficult, and job 
      opportunities can be low for patients with limited mobility. Triboelectric 
      nanogenerators (TENGs) bring a new concept enabling the design of special sensors 
      that can be used in Human-Computer-Interfaces (HCIs) to support people with 
      disabilities. In this manuscript, it is proposed a novel eye motion sensor based 
      on TENG integrated into an HCI leading to hands-free typing on the computer. We 
      demonstrate that by controlling the cursor, the user can pick up the characters 
      from a virtual keyboard and write an algorithm in the 
      Integrated-Development-Environment (IDE) of Python language. The novel eye sensor 
      recognizes the eyelash motion detected from the triboelectric interaction between 
      human hair and silicone. It is shown that a user is able to write a simple python 
      program to display a message on the computer without the use of hands. Finally, 
      we hope this development can support disabled patients to improve their 
      programming skills and provide improved job opportunities in areas such as 
      information technology or computer science.
