I've been envisioning a mouseless computer envirement. It would be a ring you wear (on your finger) and you just pass your hand over certain quadrants on a keyboard or a "hand pad". ;D

Is it possible?

What about touch pads... or roller mice?
Moving my hand that far is just a waste of energy....

After using a touch pad I can say the mouse is by far better.

Until we get thought control figured out, the mouse will remain the big cheese!

maybe a system similar to track IR? Instead of point and click, it's look and blink!

A good idea, but I can see that failing bad. What if you get a piece of dust in your eye? You'd open a hundred programs at once!!!

A mouse provides speed of use combined with on-target accuracy. Any "improvements" really ought to do the same. Until then, I'll stick to my mouse. Maybe we can build a better mouse (any ideas there?).
Build a better mouse and the world will beat a path to your door.
