There are many people who are suffering from computer related stress called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or, broadly, Repetitive Strain Injury. This epidemic is caused by heavy or improper use of a computer mouse, keyboard, or other input devices.
The people at Bili Inc felt the pain and have tackled the problem in a new approach: tap the foot potential - the untapped human resource. A foot driven mouse seemed like a logical solution, since, after all, we use our feet in driving cars, and playing drums, pianos, and organs.
This two-part device has a slipper-shaped pointer controlled by one foot and a pedal (handled by the other foot) with mouse click buttons (including a double click button), a scroll roller and definable buttons. It helps ease or prevent hand pain by offloading the slow and awkward multi-finger entries to one-step foot control, with a large mouse and programmable buttons. Even if you have no problem with stress, this gear can make you more productive. Other useful applications include multitasking, and preventing contamination through hands or gloves in a lab.
Physically-challenged people with upper limb difficulties find Footime™ foot mouse especially useful. Working in conjunction with an on-screen keyboard, this mouse even enables users to type by foot. |
