As computers become a bigger part of our daily lives the peripherals involved with using them become more of a concern for the people of the disabled community. Enter the Flip Flop Mouse, a new wireless mouse designed by Liu Yi.
This device is specifically designed for individuals with upper limb disabilities who cannot use their hands to move a mouse. It acts on the body’s natural ability to grip between the toes for controlling the mouse. You position the device similar to the way one would wear their flip-flops with the between their toes. The sensors beneath the first ad second toe act as the left click button and right click button. Both toes grip the clamp in the center in order to move the mouse horizontally and vertically.
With its sleek design and ease of use the Flip Flop Mouse should have disabled people using the PCs with easier mobility then ever before.
