evoMouse Pet or another unusual rodent
Most recently, I wrote about the new Algo Glide mouse, but this device breaks all records in terms of innovation. There is a mouse on the agenda for which you don’t need to hold it at all! evoMouse Pet is a miniature box in the form of a small dog, equipped with two infrared sensors that track the movements of your fingers.
evoMouse Pet uses your finger as a cursor - you simply move your hand along the table next to it. Using the gadget, you can perform all the usual "mouse" operations: double-click, selection, scroll, drag and drop. But more interestingly, this mouse allows you to use the functionality of multi-touch technology: rotate, zoom, go back and forth! Communication with a computer and recharging are carried out using Bluetooth and USB, respectively. Battery life about 2 hours.
It is reported that the device will work with operating systems Windows XP / Vista / 7 / Mobile, BlackBerry, Symbian. But I think that if desired, we will be able to enjoy it on Unix systems.
The price of this miracle is still unknown, as well as the release date.
EvoMouse also introduced a more advanced version - Cube. It includes a projected keyboard that can handle up to 400 characters per minute, and also has a handwriting recognition feature.
Testers called the keyboard comfortable, but due to the lack of tactile feedback, writing a novel with it can be a problem.
