Or, only if neither are accurate, a suitable quote, which must:Īdequately describe the content's relation to technologyīe free of user editorialization or alteration of meaning. Submissions must use either the articles title and optionally a subtitle. Repeated abuse can result in a permanent ban. Remember personal attacks, abusive language, trolling or bigotry in any form are therefore not allowed and will be removed.

Iv) Petitions, Surveys or Crowdfunding (Including ICOs) - submissions of this nature will be removed. Iii) Requests for tech support, questions or help: submit to /r/techsupport, /r/AskTechnology, another relevant community or our weekly Support Saturday threads. A good rule of thumb is to look at the URL if it's a video hosting site, or mentions video in the URL, it's not suitable. Ii) Images, audio or videos: Articles with supporting image and video content are allowed if the text is only there to explain the media, then it is not suitable. Submissions relating to business and politics must be sufficiently within the context of technology in that they either view the events from a technological standpoint or analyse the repercussions in the technological world. Self-post cross-posts are not acceptable.

Self posts must contribute positively to /r/technology and foster reasonable discussion. Submissions must be primarily news and developments relating to technology Weekly Support Thread Archives Hide popular topics: This may in the future lead to more complex gesture recognition than is possible at present, and could ultimately give the Mouseless a number of advantages over a physical mouse, since the number of functions handled by a physical mouse is limited./r/technology is a place to share and discuss the latest developments, happenings and curiosities in the world of technology a broad spectrum of conversation as to the innovations, aspirations, applications and machinations that define our age and shape our future.


The MIT group of researchers are now working on improvements to the recognition and tracking algorithms with the aim of building up an expanded command library. There are no plans for commercializing the “invisible mouse,” but the prototype Mouseless was built for around $20 USD. Mouseless is an invisible computer mouse. The built-in camera then interprets the changes in position of the hand and fingers and translates them as moves of the mouse and clicks on the two buttons, and the cursor on the screen moves as if the user was operating a physical mouse. The user acts as though a physical mouse were present and the laser beam is intersected by the hand, and parts of the hand are shown up as bright spots of light that change position as the hand moves. The researchers, Pranav Mistry, Liyan Chang, and Pattie Maes, developed an infrared (IR) laser beam and associated camera that could be incorporated into the computer so that a plane of IR laser would be created just above the surface on which the computer is resting.
