Mouse hat for handicapped
15th May, 2007 by stuart
The device boffins at Actbrise have created a special input device for the disabled. It works by using a baseball cap, a plastic tube, and a USB cable. The cap allows the wearer to move the mouse cursor in the direction they want simply by moving their head. The 1.8 metre tube on the other hand is used to detect mouse clicks. Blow down the tube for a left click, suck for a right. There’s a detachable straw at the end of the tube just in case it gets a bit out of shape with all that puffing.

Fantastic invention! Must get tiring after a while though.
