2 The computer mouse was invented in 1960s and it went through many revisions regarding its functionality and features since then. According to folks from Celluon who came up with evomouse, it is the evolution of the computer mouse which allows you to emulate the mouse with gestures of your hand. The evomouse works on a similar principle as the Mouse less interface we wrote about last year, but its design is more polished and it looks like a small digital animal. Its two infrared sensors which form the eyes of the animal project an area in which your hands can function as if you really were using a mouse.

3 The evomouse is the evolution of the computer mouse. Meet evomouse Pet, a dog-shaped device that turns any surface into a touchpad. Tracking your fingers, it lets you do anything a regular mouse can do, and then some. The evomouse works on nearly any flat surface and requires very little space. It tracks effortlessly to your comfortable and natural movements. With the evomouse, you can perform common mouse operations using only your fingers. You can control the cursor, click and select, double-click, right-click and drag with basic hand gestures.

4 The technology is basically made up of two principal components. The first are 3D electronic perception sensor chips, and the second is image processing software. In a manner similar to radar, where the range to a remote object is calculated through various methods, Canesta's chips develop 'distance maps' to points in the image of a nearby object, and hand this information to an on-chip processor running the imaging software. That software further refines the 3D representation of the image before sending it off chip for application-specific processing. The chips do this repeatedly, generating over 50 frames of 3D information per second.

6 How it works? It s a mouse that allows you to use your finger as a pointer in place of a physical mouse. It sits right at the position where you would usually place a mouse, and through its two infrared sensors that look like eyes, it allows the usual mouse functions

7 The Basic principles of EvoMouse: Celluon use the "time of flight principle to detect the motion of the object Basic components of this technology: IR pulse emitter - you can see the rectangle at the bottom IR TOF CMOS sensor - on the head of the cute shape between the two LEDs (LEDs here are indicators of system in operation, not for TOF function)

9 Beyond conventional mouse functions such as cursor control, right- and left-clicking, dragging and double-clicking, the Celluon evomouse offers multitouch capabilities, letting you rotate and zoom on images and scroll text using gestures. The device can even recognize your handwriting if you use either your finger or pen. Click and select, drag and drop, right click, and double-click. It also allows a little more functions similar to touch enabled devices such as rotate, pinch to zoom, and handwriting recognition, which you can do using your finger or a pen.

12 What s even more interesting is that the evomouse can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth or can be wired via USB. Yes, you heard it right! The evomouse is a USB peripheral so you don t have to worry about charging it all the time. However, if you choose to use it wirelessly, you can have it running for two hours once charged.

13 Evolution of the computer mouse Finger works as a pointer Works almost on any surface Little space needed ( space saver ) Using your fingers you can control the cursor, click and select, double-click, right-click and drag with basic hand gestures Multi-touch functionality including scroll, rotate, zoom, forward and back Works with all desktop & laptop PC EvoMouse can even be used for handwriting recognition with your finger or a pen It connects via Bluetooth or a standard USB port

14 In terms of compatibility, it works with PCs and laptops with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 as operating systems. Moreover, it works with your Windows Mobile, Blackberry.

15 Celluon says it s ideal for those with carpal tunnel syndrome who suffer from the slightest effort of pushing around a physical mouse perhaps this little evomouse Pet will now let those sufferers run with the big dogs.

16 It s small enough to take with you, and connects either wirelessly via Bluetooth or plugged in with a USB cable. this device works with Mac, iphone, ipad, ipod touch, windows, Android and BlackBerry. the best advantage of the evomouse is that you don t use it like an ordinary PC or Mac mouse. Instead, the way it operates by letting your fingers do the moving naturally reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries such as the dreaded Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

17 We say it is portable, and fits perfectly for people on-the-go. However, if you re much of a gamer, it may take a little while before you master its functions and find it helpful.
