Optical Mouse For PC/MAC/WINDOWS VISTA/MAC OS10

My Idea serial ID: 00512

Wireless Mouse (es)(mice)are currently being engineered backwards to my reckoning, and my invention would fix this. The kinetic interpretation of human digital physiology is well established, as is the interface therewith, which is hindering development. A typical mouse moves over a fixed surface, and takes up substantial space to read the intentions of the user because their inputs are based on the movement of the mouse unit over a fairly large planar surface: as a result they are only passable for truly portable/laptop use, and need at least a square foot for desktop use. The other well-developed solution is the trakball trackball - assuming all rights are reserved to the Atari, Apple, or Microsoft creator(s) - which requires a large and stable base to use the trakball device. My proposed invention, (which I am certain would cost way more to develop than I am willing to commit at this time) is to create a "crystal ball" cursor system, which reads the position of your finger on a fixed, rounded reading surface. I have tried "Rocketfish, Compaq, Microsoft, Apple, and most of the other readily available mouse devices, and they are not adequate, merely tolerable. As for my proposed PC and Apple compatible device, the entire exposed area would be the functioning portion. The active portion would be a semi-spherical actuator, which is greater than a 180 degree section, with the reading element underneath the user's finger. the entire working element could be depressed for "click" functions. Imagine a tiny "mouse" (now called a "turtle" or "mouse egg" or "laser finger" that was only a small, floating, rounded hump with no additional buttons, mounted on a very small unit, and which was almost all functional surface(s), with no additional moving parts or elements. The best application would be the same dome with a means to read where a forefinger resided on the surface of the dome, with no moving element, whatsoever, other than the "click" function.
