Microsoft patented the mouse in the style of Wii

Another Microsoft invention from the field of alternative interfaces is a wearable mouse with built-in gyroscopes, which allows you to control the cursor in three dimensions, tracking the position of the hand in space. A similar device we saw in the movie “Minority Report” (Minority Report), as well as the concept of a joystick on gyroscopes is implemented in the Wii game manipulator.

As can be seen in the figures, such a mouse can be mounted on a brush, and then the buttons are very comfortable to press with your thumb, and the device will not interfere with the work on the keyboard.

The patent even lists in detail the names of parts that can be used in the design of the manipulator (including the Analog Devices ADXRS150 gyros ). This suggests that Microsoft Hardware has already produced a workable prototype of such a device.
