It will comes from Microsoft, the first "wearable Mouse"


On 21 June 1967, Douglas Engelbart got the patent for his display X,Y position indicator: the mouse.
Engelbart intent was to improve the way to work with a PC and with his invention he fully reached the objective, marking the evolution of Personal Computers in all respects.
From that date the development of "pointing devices" has never arrested, and directly from Microsoft comes a possible (and near) revolution.

Precisely on October 2006, Microsoft has registered a patent for a new prototype mouse, which details have remained hidden up to their official publication.
It's about a mouse conceived in a completely different way from as we are used to, a "wearable" mouse, you put it on your own hand and it let you aim with your fingers.

Conceptually the idea of a wearable mouse could be a true convenience, but how much it will weigh? Will it be so efficient and practical as they hope?

For the rest of the tech details we all need to wait the official launch!
