Cymouse is a precision, six degree-of-freedom positional and angular head tracking device. The first three "degrees of freedom" are coordinate movements along the X, Y, and Z axes. A mouse is a 2-D peripheral, detecting movement along two of the three axes previously mentioned. Cymouse detects movement in all three, as well as rotation on those axes.
Cymouse can detect the movement of your head and translate that to computer control, For example "looking up, down, left, right" emulates the cursor control of your desktop mouse. Moving your head "toward the monitor or away from the monitor" is also detected and can be programmed to be computer control functions. Moving your head "up", "down", "left", or "right" are also detected and can become computer control functions.
Cymouse will work with any application written for the Windows operating system, version 2000 or XP. By allowing 8 distinct "controls" with your head you can have Cymouse Technology work with all of your existing computer control devices. Most people would already have a keyboard and mouse. Some people may have a joystick, speech recognition, trackball or other peripherals. Cymouse Technology will work with them all as long as they are USB peripherals. For instance in a video game you could have your mouse and keyboard for aiming and navigation. Your Cymouse could be used to switch weapons or make one of your favorite "moves". In hands free control of your desktop you could move the cursor with the pitch and yaw, and have movement on the "Z axis" (move toward or away from the screen) be your click and double click. This makes it easy to send and receive email, browse the web, play solitaire, or almost any other computer function hands free.
Cymouse has its own proprietary device driver. This driver allows the Cymouse to work simultaneously with your other computer peripherals. So talk about control of the computer! You can can use Cymouse to control your computer and your mouse, keyboard, joystick, speech recognition, trackball, or whatever other control devices will work at the same time.
Cymouse is a new class of game controller that gives you a second set of hands to perform amazing moves you have never tried before. The Cymouse can be used to emulate specific keyboard, mouse and mouse wheel commands. Move your head to launch a command or use Cymouse to move characters in any direction including 180 or 360 turns. Play online, first person shooter, action, strategy, role-play, driving and flight simulation games.
CAD users and 3-D graphics professionals will no longer be constrained by 2-D
peripherals (i.e. a mouse). Cymouse Technology will allow them to move around and view
their designs from different perspectives simply by moving their head, reducing the overall
time of the task at hand.
The Cymouse will also work perfectly with any Head Mounted Display
