Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-you-can't-make-up dept.

mteichrob writes "A Canadian inventor has designed a computer mouse steered by movements of the nose and eyelids. The invention, dubbed a "Nouse," is meant to help people with a disability use a computer. I think this could also be quite useful for the average office lackey like me! As good as my ergonomic mouse/keyboard combo is, less body movement is still a better replacement."

    What about playing Quake or Doom... that has to be something... really annoying... at the end of the day... not only your headache will kill you, but your constant blinking and neck pain won't let you do anything else. I would try it though.

    Just be happy that there's no such thing as a pouse...

    Although it could spur the adoption of the no-pants work environment.
