The good folks at Actbrise have developed a special kind of input device for the disabled by using everyday items. Comprising of a baseball cap (preferably one featuring your favorite team), a plastic tube, and a USB cable, the cap enables the wearer to move the mouse cursor in the direction they want by moving their head. The tube, measuring 1.8 meters long, is used to detect mouse clicks. All the user needs to do is blow down the tube for a left click, while sucking results in a right click. Pretty neat idea, but it is definitely a bad one if you want to play Diablo II or other mouse-killer games with that.
