    Bat Mouse Hovers In Mid-Air Using Magnets

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013...ncid=webmail11




    There are already plenty of ways to control a computer without a mouse - whether its touch-based gesture controls or the fused minds of two rats.

    But this might make you want to return to the humble rodent.

    The Bat Mouse is a concept design for a peripheral which floats in mid-air using magnets.

    It's the work of Kibardin Design, who say the mouse would float about an inch and a half above the mousepad, and wouldn't drop all the way to the ground when in use with your hand.

    No, it isn't a real product yet - and no, we have no idea if it would actually work.

    But as the designers point out, there is a role here for a device which is able to treat and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury.

    Cool!

    I always think that we should find ways to utilize magnetic power more.

    Cool idea, not very practical though. Your hand/arm would get tired awfully quick since you couldn't brace it on the desk like a traditional mouse.

    This is what immediately thought of too. ? Interesting concept, however.
