While the iphone and its fellow touchscreen gadgets hint at a future of touch interactivity, Deanmark is developing the airmouse, a glove-like pointer for your devices. The concept aims to prevent repetitivestress injuries by dissolving the standard desktop mouse into a floating device worn on the user’s hand. The airmouse is battery powered and operates using a laser sensor. The user simply holds their hand in the air making gestures familiar to anyone who has used a standard mouse (scrolling, right click, left click). Because the device is directly in contact with the hand, the mouse is said to be faster and more accurate.

The above is the advert statement. With that being said, if they could only combine this concept with The North Face’s touch gloves (which allow you to use your iPhone with gloves on) pictured below and have an air mouse that you can use underneath other gloves that would be able to sense the sensors and also double as an air mouse would be amazing.
