Mouse glove is designed for new comfort zones

(PhysOrg.com) -- Yet another alternative to the conventional computer mouse is being marketed, this time a pull-on glove that behaves as a mouse. The Ion Wireless Air Mouse Glove is from a Cocoa, Florida-based company, Bellco Ventures, which describes itself as specializing in new product development and marketing. The mouse glove can serve up functions carried out in the conventional mouse—right click, left click, scrolling, and more.

The glove has buttons worn on the finger that allow the user to perform left and right clicks—positioned on the index finger and pressed using your thumb--, an off and on switch, and LED. The glove set includes a USB module that you plug into your computer's USB port. The glove works with Androids, Linux, Mac and Windows systems.

To scroll, the glove wearer uses wrist movements to go up and down the page. The mouse is wireless and rechargeable with the USB port; you can control your computer up to 35 feet away, which is another key selling point besides comfort, from Bellco.

Yea, like this is going to catch on. Has the guy never....

talk about developing carpel tunnel....having to touch your fingers together and flick your writs around just to scroll about the screen.  I think I'll stick to a regular mouse.

He should focus his efforts on bettering eye movement tracking so we can just move stuff with our eyes on the screen.

Yes, but for the second one I think it would be better if an extended blink or perhaps a wink could be used to select instead of having to hold down a button.

What I really want them to get working is a computer that can read my mind and just do what I want...would make work so much easier.

I actually think this would be worse for me.  I am pretty ADD as it is, and if my screen jumped around as much as my mind, it would probably cause motion sickness.

This. My computer wouldn't stay on the same page for more than 3 seconds.

Wow, as I was reading the quote part of the article, I was thinking it is likely to have the same success as the Nintendo power glove.
