Summary:
This paper discusses an Adaptive Mouse that is different from what we use daily because of its shape and functionality. The mouse itself is an circular shape that has sensors all over it so it can sense our hand position. From these sensors when it has established our hand position it even figures out where our pointer and middle fingers are so it can know where to look for pressure for clicks.
The results from their testing showed that people enjoyed and generally had fun with the new kind of mouse. Some problems they encountered were with the sensors because if not enough pressure was applied the cursor would not react properly. Another big problem was the mouse did not always react to users clicks.
Discussion:
I like the technology behind this mouse because it really makes me think about the future. I think a big problem with a design like this is most people use a computer mouse every day and will not be willing to switch over so easily if something like this becomes big. I think the functionality of the mouse we have today does well so I just don't see people being willing to try something this different.
