Air Mouse

A mouse comes almost close to aping the glove interface worn by Tom Cruise’s character in Minority Report. Though it’s no power glove or highly calibrated gaming hand sock like the Peregrine gauntlet, the AirMouse does seem capable of addressing repetitive strain injuries. Even with the best of ergonomic mice at your fingertips, there’s no avoiding wrist fatique. Take it from yours truly. Since a certain late entertainment icon has made the one-gloved look chic, you shouldn’t feel weird out donning the AirMouse around your palm. This rodent works on wireless, uses an optical laser, runs a week on a single charge, and is said to be pretty fast and accurate as it functions by aligning itself with the ligaments of your hand and wrist.
A squeezable concept mouse called Suma

As shown in the picture above, the Suma platform acts like a like a layer of skin that can detect different points of pressure in a 3D environment. This information is then translated into usable information by the computer software. Cambridge Consultants believes the technology can be used in various industries, from medical and industrial to arts and music. The company demonstrated the capabilities of Suma in a simple game where you can squeeze the physical ball to reduce its size in the computer. Turning the ball helps to tilt the objects in the screen.
Mad Catz Eclipse

Mad Catz delivers just that with its stylish new Eclipse touchmouse, a Bluetooth-enabled pointer that actively responds to a series of gestures on an integrated trackpad. We hate to do it, but aesthetic comparisons must be made with the Magic Mouse. Just as the Motorola Droid departs from the iPhone silhouette, so does the Mad Catz touchmouse. Instead of a milky-white finish, Mad Catz went with a brushed aluminum exterior and positions your hand at sloping angle to promote streamlined ergonomics. It operates on a single AA battery and connects to a host computer via Bluetooth for wireless access. However, unlike the Magic Mouse, the mouse only responds to gestures made on the small rectangular touchpad on the top of the device. Swiping your finger across the top of this pad enables four-way on-screen scrolling for intuitive navigation forward and backward across Web pages.
