Puyocon ball-shaped input interface is Wiimote-style mouse for PCs

This is some differently done devices we’ve seen since CES. Shaped like a ball, the Puyocon is an input interface developed by the Entertainment Computing Laboratory of Japan’s Tsukuba University, unlike a regular mouse the Puyocon doesn’t need to be rolled on the desk to function. Instead the input interface uses the arm movement, squeezes or throws to move the cursor to the desired place on the PC. The Bluetooth connected Puyocon features fourteen pressure sensors and three-way acceleration sensor to let you control your PC all wirelessly. Now, think how much would something like the Puyocon mean to computing and gaming, it’s beyond guessing for now, therefore just hit the jump to see its usage.
