Amenbo five-finger mouse has one up on Mickey (video)

In case you are using a normal mouse or a trackpad, there is a good chance you have got a finger or two going to waste, and actually, what is the point of getting all of these digits if you are unlikely to lay them to work? Japan’s Double Research & Development Co. is showing off the Amenbo, a brand new input device that does not waste a single finger. Each gets its own pad with a mouse sensor, all connected to a single base with a versatile material that permits for movement. The device can detect pressure and motion of the fingers, and is perfect for interfacing with such things as 3D CAD data, which typically requires two hands. Additionally it is apparently great to be used with robot hands and getting androids to flash the metal sign. Video of the device after the break.
