Hardware Marketing - New Products & Services IBM develops mouse adapter Our Bureau
Hyderabad , March 15 IBM today announced the launch of a computer mouse adapter, invented by IBM researchers, that enables people who suffer from hand tremors to have completely normal use of a personal computer. In a statement, the company said that it is licensing the mouse adapter to Montrose Secam Ltd, a small British electronics company, which will manufacture and sell the Assistive Mouse Adapter for under $100. According to the International Essential Tremor Foundation, nearly 10 million people in the US alone are affected by Essential Tremor, the most common form of hand tremors.
The mouse adapter works by filtering out the shaking movements of the hand in a similar way to how the image stabilising systems of some camera lenses work. The device works with any PC and operating system. No additional software is required as the adapter is simply plugged in between the computer and the mouse.
