The SkyMouse is a wireless mouse allows you to easily control your cursor with hand gestures. The wireless peripheral attaches to your fingers so that you can easily and accurately navigate.
Conceived by designer Eliott Ephrati, the SkyMouse was created to provide an accessible and ergonomic method of computer navigation. The gadget uses infrared lights and trackers along with advanced algorithms to allow you to control your computer. Finger attachments emit infrared light so that the accompanying receiver can pick it up. All of this is done without any installed software so that you can just plug it in and use it without any hassle.
Ephrati is currently raising funds on KickStarter to begin production of the SkyMouse.
