# Wearable PC Peripherals Instead of Using a Mouse, Wear the Air Mouse Glove By JDurhamII | Published 2011-02-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mouse-glove References: [materialicious](http://www.materialicious.com/2011/02/mouse-that-fits-like-a-glove.html) & [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/airmouse-wearable-mouse/13993/picture/109504/) Continuous mouse usage can cause related hand stress; Canadian firm Deanmark Ltd has come up with a solution to this problem in the Air Mouse. The Air Mouse glove is a wearable glove that uses mouse functions but reduces and possibly eliminates the problems traditional iterations of these peripherals cause. The Air Mouse is suspected to be released within the next six to 12 months yielding a price tag of about $129. Not a bad price on something that will save avid computer users a ton of money on health bills in the years to come. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable Input Devices:** The Air Mouse glove shows the potential for wearables to not only aid in computing but also improve user health. - **Health-conscious Peripheral Devices:** The Air Mouse glove demonstrates a growing market for technology that can mitigate problems arising from long-term computer use. - **Innovative Gestural Interfaces:** The Air Mouse glove represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies looking to create gestural interfaces that can replace traditional pointing devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Computer Hardware:** Computer hardware companies could benefit from including wearable input devices like the Air Mouse in their product lineups. - **Healthcare:** Healthcare providers and insurers could integrate wearables like the Air Mouse into their offerings to help patients avoid tech-related injuries. - **Gaming:** Gaming companies and accessory makers could create specialized versions of wearables like the Air Mouse for their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intuitive Gesture-Control Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactigon-skin-wearable-mouse.md) - [Remote Presentation Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-finger-mouse.md) - [Wearable Gesture-Based Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clip-mouse.md) - [Wearable Ring-Inspired Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ring-mouse.md) - [Wearable Technology Gesture Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-mouse.md) - [Discomfort Prevention Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-ergonomic-mouse.md) - [Wearable Desktop Control Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prolo-ring.md) - [Strain-Reducing Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-mouse.md) - [Modular Wireless Computer Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-nova.md)
