new mouse, the Mighty Mouse. What's
so special about it? Well, it
incorporates technologies of interest to
sonolum, such as sensing capabilities
and sonification feedback.
Using capacitive sensing technolgy,
the device allows for interesting
paradigms for the mouse-at-rest
navigation. Four-way movement is
enabled as the sensors detect
left-finger/right-finger differences, in
addition to left-stroke/right-stroke
patterns of the Scroll Ball shown in the
picture.
In addition to the interesting sensor
arrangements, the Scroll Ball also
features sonification feedback.
Scrolling produces a type of ambient
feedback, whereas clicking will
generate a different informative timbre.
The sounds are actually generated
from within the device by a small
speaker.
