Mouse of the Future?

I never actually thought about it before, but in the real world your two hands work on tasks at all time. Making coffee, eating a sandwich, and walking a dog are all examples where both hands are working on specific individual tasks.

However, when using a mouse you primarily just sit there moving one hand around to manipulate objects on the screen. A company called Tactiva is currently trying to market a product where a sensor detects the activity of both hands and places "virtual hands" on the screen so you can control two things simultaneously.

The demo movie looks pretty cool. I love technology.

I never thought about this when designing a Gizmo. I only think about moving one slider at a time, or clicking on one checkbox. In ten or twenty years I wonder what our Gizmos will look like. I can't wait to see :)
