Not a picture of the Taiwanese flying mouseThe Taiwan Economic News reports that a “micro system technology laboratory under the government-backed Industrial Technology Research Institute” has developed a wireless, wrist-mounted computer mouse that provides input in three dimensions. Make Magazine’s Philip Torrone hacked something like this together for a mixed-reality event recently. Neither seem to have been commercialized yet. Other than the fact that your arm might get tired, it’s a very nice idea. Imagine a wireless pen device with which you could draw on your screen in three dimensions. Not bad.
