AirMouse, a mouse without a mouse

Without Airmouse mouse because of the Canadian firm Deanmark Ltd., is a kind of glove that we place ourselves in hand and that serves as the mouse, designed by the company to attempt to overcome the injuries that occur with prolonged use of these devices.

The idea was to find the perfect design, but the hand itself act as a mouse. And does this by including various sensors, an optical laser that detects movement and allows us to move the cursor and two smaller ones placed on the index and the heart, which are those that allow us to click.

AirMouse, a mouse without a mouse

It is designed to remain inactive until the hand is placed in a neutral position, flat, so that we can do other things (to write, move, etc..) without any movement cursor.

The mouse-glove may operate for a week without recharging and goes on sale of measurements from 2010 for 129 dollars, 93 euros to change.

An interesting concept, but I do not see myself having me to put a glove every time I put in front of the computer, really.
