6. All Talk
http://www.naturalpoint.com/prod/product.htm
This week we talk about the NaturalPoint trackIR cursor
control system. The device connects to a computer USB port
and allows users to control the mouse cursor and its action
through various options. The wand allows a user to click,
drag and move the mouse by pointing the wand within 20ft and
be able to control a mouse. Next, the ring allows a user to
control the mouse by pointing at the screen (no mention of
any button's). Finally, an option that makes this device
unique and interesting is an accessory called the dot. The dot
sticks to the users head and allows a user to control the
mouse cursor by moving their head.
The above items as well as other new and innovative
services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip
section on our News page at:
