Employers looking for new ways to make you work your
socks off, will be interested in a new mouse which has come onto the market.
The Toe Mouse, a concept computer interfacing device
which can be seen here has been designed by a bloke called Liu Yi. He said he crafted the Toe Mouse to slip on just like a
flip flop, with a piece of plastic rising between the big and second toes for
grip.
A sensor under the big toe acts as the left click on a
traditional desktop mouse while the second toe's sensor functions as the right
click. Of course the mouse is wireless and can move along the
floor the same way that a hand-held mouse slides over a surface.
The advantage is that it help those people with
upper-limb disabilities navigate their computers. However we would have thought
it much better than having to take your hands off the keyboard. It would probably give you a little more exercise too.
After all writing a news story would be like playing the drums. No word on price
yet.
