For those with disabilities who are unable to use a mouse or a
touchscreen, mass-produced devices can become more of a hindrance than a help.
This is why a Turkish designer came up with GlassOuse, which puts the
capabilities of a mouse on a pair of glasses.
GlassOuse looks like a t chunky lensless glasses frame in that it's worn
over the nose and ears. A flexible cord connected to the frame leads to a
"click button" that is inserted into the mouth. The whole thing
connects to a computer or mobile device via Bluetooth to act as point device.
Designer, Mehmet Nemo Turker says
the button has been tested 50,000 times under 3 tons of pressure and is
antibacterial. GlassOuse has a rechargeable battery that is designed to provide
15 hours of use per charge.
Turker says he was inspired to
create GlassOuse after a friend became disabled following a diving accident.
