MicroPointing Miniature Mouse Amazing Look (Video)

Israeli start-up company MicroPointing has come up with a miniature mouse, except in this case it’s not a typical mouse per se, but rather a tiny touchpad that comes in at 1mm squared which they claim can be placed on just about any object to control it. Thanks to only 3 sensors, and a secret algorithm, the touchpad will be able to pull detailed data from your gestures, for example picking up on the force of your fingertips. If you’re wondering why this is such a big deal, it’s because of the number of possibilities that a touchpad this tiny, could open up.

For example manufacturers could embed the touchpad onto a ring, in which the user will be able to control their tablet, so they could just prop up their tablet, sit back and swipe through pages in their browser, all from touching their ring. Music levels can be adjusted via headphones just by touching it and sliding a finger up or down to adjust volume. It could even be embedded onto the bezel of gaming devices which could potentially reduce the need for actual, physical joysticks or buttons.
Apart from added functionality, the miniature touchpad will also change the way things are designed, which means thanks to its tiny form factor, certain gadgets or devices will cease the need to be so big, tablets and smartphones will also be able to start seeing bigger screens, and not worry about needing extra room for hard keys.

Mouse Iris By Raoni Caselli amazing New International

Sitting at the computer all day is usually tiresome. Aside from bringing about backaches and eye strain, the incorrect use of mouse to scroll pages can cause severe pain in the wrist area. To ease things a bit (for that wristy part), Raoni Caselli has come up with Iris mouse redesign. The ergonomic product will change the way we look at a humble mouse.


The ingenious design has been divided into two parts: a base and a top. The base part is just like a normal mouse pad and will be fitted to the ground like one. On the other hand, the top part will have the flexibility to move all along the base. The top part works like a mouse and can be moved from one corner to the other. It is touch-sensitive (similar to a touch screen) that makes the whole usage all the more easy.

The whole aura of a traditional mouse has been kept intact, which till date has proved to be very useful. Iris will have touch buttons that will let the user move the cursor left and right on the top. The user will have to touch them when required, instead of punching that is done with a conventional mouse. Normally, a click sound is produced when the button is pressed, but, in this case, a bright light will start glowing instead.

The whole construction comes sans any wires, which will make it rank high on the mobility level. The base will play the role of the monitor area and stretching your arms to reach extreme corners will take a backseat. Iris has been given a great grip, which will make the experience all the more amazing. So, give your hands and arms an ergonomic pleasure with this attention-grabbing product.
