  10. reduction in anxiety and stress may be achieved on Microsoft Patents Foot Computing · · Score: 1

    "To summarize, embodiments allow a user to take a break from his or her normal working position and engage in a fun and interactive way of interacting with a personal computer. In contrast to the traditional method of using a keyboard and mouse to interact with a computer, embodiments efficiently utilize a foot-based interface, such as a foot pad, to interact with different application programs (e.g., email or photos application programs). In one example, a user can easily check email by stepping on different sections of a foot pad.
    By encouraging a user to exercise, an increase in cardiovascular health, improvement in muscle tone, increase in bone density, reduction in anxiety and stress may be achieved."

    The smartphone market is flooded and the Win7 phones are too late and too expensive.

    Just like copying YOUR OWN cds at home, what's wrong with 3D printing and tweaking for personal use?
