  Ditch Your Keyboard and Mouse
Time: 12:58 EST/17:58 GMT | News Source: IDG | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Researchers at the University of Delaware have invented a technology that they say will do away with the traditional mouse and keyboard, replacing those devices with a touchpad and finger motions that will allow computer users to control their machines "like magic."

The new interface consists of a touchpad that acts as a video camera, recording the objects touching its surface. An embedded microprocessor then uses an algorithmic process to convert the touches into commands understood by the computer, the researchers say.

The mouse-eliminating technology was originally developed by UD visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Wayne Westerman, who began the project as part of his doctoral thesis. Westerman has been working on developing the technology over the last five years, along with UD Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering John Elias.
