#How An Intelligent Thimble Could Replace the Mouse In 3d Virtual reality Worlds The way in
which humans interact with computers has been dominated by the mouse since it was invented in the 1960s by Doug Engelbert.
A mouse uses a flat two-dimensional surface as a proxy for a computer screen. Any movements of the mouse over the surface are translated then into movements on the screen.
These days a mouse also has a number of buttons and often scroll wheel that allow interaction with on-screen objects.
The mouse is a hugely useful device but it is also a two-dimensional one. But what of the three-dimensional world and the longstanding but growing promise of virtual reality.
What kind of device will take the place of the mouse when we begin to interact in three-dimensions?
Today we get to see one idea developed at the University of Wyoming in Laramie by Anh Nguyen and Amy Banic.
It s been possible to buy a computer mouse for some time that senses its position in three dimensions.
In addition the 3dtouch has an optical flow sensor that measures the movement of the device against a two-dimensional surface exactly like that inside an ordinary mouse.
