Building a better computer mouse | |
|

| Time: 09:52 EST/14:52 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

A software maker is trying to redefine how people interact with their PCs. Pioneered by Norway's Opera Software, the "mouse gesture" is slowly winning converts among software developers who hope to simplify repetitive tasks in computer applications. The idea is to allow people to execute commands with a simple flick of the wrist, rather than navigate through complicated point-and-click toolbars and drop-down menus. In Opera's Web browser, for example, a person who wants to return to a previous page can simply hold down a button and slide the mouse to the left, rather than moving the cursor to the top of the screen and hitting the "back" button. | ||
