Mouseless is an invisible computer mouse. It provides the familiarity of interaction of a physical mouse without actually needing a real hardware mouse. As the computer mouse has remained largely unchanged over the last decades, we have become increasingly proficient at operating the two-button mouse. Recently, various multitouch and gestural interaction technologies have been explored as means to implement alternative methods to interact with a computer. Despite these advances in computing hardware technologies, the two-button computer mouse has remained the predominant means to interact with a computer. The Mouseless invention removes the requirement of having a physical mouse altogether but still provides the intuitive interaction of a physical mouse that we are familiar with. Mouseless consists of an Infrared (IR) laser beam and an Infrared camera. Both IR laser and IR camera are embedded in the computer. The laser beam module is modified with a line cap and placed such that it creates a plane of IR laser just above the surface the computer sits on. The user cups their hand, as if a physical mouse was present underneath, and the laser beam lights up the hand which is in contact with the surface. The IR camera detects those bright IR blobs using computer vision. The change in the position and arrangements of these blobs are interpreted as mouse cursor movement and mouse clicks. As the user moves their hand the cursor on screen moves accordingly. When the user taps …

Mouseless : Günün birinde bu mouse’ların çöpe gideceğini biliyordum
))
does your hand need a driver ?
@Houstof sure but an awesome invention:)
@pyroasta I think you can find it IN THE VIDEO YOU JUST WATCHED.
this will make u look retarded in public
Amazing…
Теперь вместо мышки таскать камеру?
Как страницы прокручивать?
Я верю они что нибудь придумают! Это только начало!
hand cramp and I can’t see myself playing any FPS on this
its not fake, however… useless.. since the movement is limited for the camera speed wich is slower then a actual real mouse, its not gonna be that smooth for fast movements. maybe, if it gets really smooth it could be used to use it as a tablet to make drawings go easyer without a fisical tablet. i dont beleave that this one is going to be really great as a mouse. theres no point! and a mouse can have much more features since a mouse can handle lots of buttons and a scroll.
Great! Now wwe’ll all look like a bunch of morons draging our hands on the table like tat…
Mal feito
does this need special software to use? where can i find it if it does?
@celenysaurusrex A stupid question? May be…
can it work with my foot?
what about scrolling? O:
@EnriqueIglesiasBG I dont believe I see these kind of comments on a vid like this. I suppose that having the ease to comment like that comes from the fact that you as well study (or teach) in the MIT, right? Go tell your “inaccurate” crap to them face to face then, cos they’re as smart as you’ll never be my friend.
@EnriqueIglesiasBG its still a developing technology
@joyx81 Fake??????????seriously? do you even know who pranav mistry is?
Very inaccurate movements.
what if you are left handed?
FAKE BY PHOTOSHOP CS2 WITH CRACK AN KEYGEN
I would never use this… First it’s totally useless and how annoying is it to adapt yourself to a new mouse.. Now I’ll have to adapt myself to an invisible mouse? No thanks.. Even touchscreen is better..
really cool !!
@JohnnylFreak
You are right, me too dont need that.
@gedw99 and @all: Don’t get me wrong: I have no idea if that idea would make a good product or not (at least to me tactile feedback is crucial – I once owned those laser layer keyboards, which was an usability disaster). I just think that the current state is not presentable.
