From Iphone plan to make a computer mouse

The company Spicebox announced a project to create a device that allows you to use the iPhone as a touch computer mouse. To implement the plan, it is required to collect $ 150 thousand. Currently, Spicebox is creating a fully working prototype of Mauz, which so far offers only a part of the declared functionality.

The device connects to the iPhone using a 30-pin connector, it communicates with a computer via Wi-Fi, and controls are displayed on the smartphone screen — buttons and a wheel that the user can operate on (additional buttons can be “programmed”). For precise positioning, Mauz uses a low-power laser.

In addition, the developers plan to use the position sensors built into the iPhone, and then the device can be used by analogy with a wireless controller for the Wii console.

Also, the front camera will not be overlooked, which will allow you to interact with your computer using gestures (navigate Google maps, for example).
According to Spicebox, the new product is almost ready - it remains only to create a device case and modify the software.
