Meet Sphere: Transforming Touchscreen Motion-Sensing Mouse of the Future
Despite all of its various reinventions the basic design of the mouse hasn't changed very much--it's still the same old pointing device we know and love. But Moixa's newly patented Sphere is such a radical rethink, melding mouse and touchscreen in one, that it's truly a taste of the future.
Moixa is awarded a patent on its apple sized multi-touch sphere that can be used to display the world (e.g. Google Earth), browse web pages or control interactive games.
In Moixa tradition, Sphere can also be collapsed, used and stored in its second form - a flat ellipsoid. The patents, filed in 2004 also disclose advanced multi-touch surface interaction and gyroscopic control benefits.
