WPI undergraduate students have developed a new take on an old pointing device, labeled by Popular Science as the ¡°Invention of the Year¡±!
This reincarnation of the traditional mouse uses an array of received to track the motion of ultrasonic transmitters, which are worn on the index finger like a ring.
The user can control the pointing device my simply pointing at the monitor.
