| I am a 3d artist by
trade, and have found the track IR to be a little too imprecise to do that kind of work (an extremely high amount of extremely precise mouse work). I can do 3d work with it in a pinch, but i prefer to use a trackball or mouse. That being said, for other uses I absolutely love it. I play "the sims" all the time on it, as well as surf the web. on the first day the very first time i used it i could easily navigate the web, clicking on links and hitting the 'forward' and 'back' buttons in netscape. I could play solitaire and do most things an average person could do with a mouse. after a few months of using it, i would forgot i was even using it. i could even do a good portion of my 3d work, though i had to work quite a bit slower than normal in order to stay precise. the only time it really causes a lot of neck strain is when i am trying to hold the cursor very steady (such as when clicking on tiny objects, etc) for a long period of time. after awhile you learn to let your neck relax when doing normal computing with it, that helps a great deal. its also a good idea to switch off between the track ir and the mouse (or other input device) when using it for the first few times, just to get your neck used to to the motions it will be doing. those first few days are a little frustrating, almost like learning a foreign language. I click with a usb keyboard with some home-made foot pedals attached to certain keys, which the track ir interprets as either a left or right click depending on which key i hit. the system works well, and can be used in combination with a regular ps/2 keyboard for normal typing (like i'm doing now). there is also a foot pedal system available for the track ir, but at the time i wasn't sure it was worth spending the extra money since i wasn't sure i would even like the track ir, especially since they charge you an extra $100 just to have the OPTION of buying the footpedals (highway robbery. by far the worst thing about the track ir....the normal unit is priced very nice---- $129 when i bought it). btw, i put the track ir dots on the microphone headset i use for dragon naturally speaking. that way i don't have to walk around all day with a reflective dot on my forehead. :) |

I've previously used the No-Hands Mouse (often
called "Footmouse") which I have to give up now due to changing employers. I had mixed success but liked it overall, but it was a bit pricey ($240) and I'm wondering what else is out there. I checked the Sorehand archives and based on discussion there I am thinking of trying the Natural Point hands' free mouse system (http://www.naturalpoint.com/), which lets you control the mouse with your head. It lets you put a small device on your head or glasses to move the mouse. However, the pedals they offer seem very limited, so I'd like to use Kinesis pedals (http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/). |

Hello: I think it's a good idea when using the TrackIR (Natural Point - also called SmartNav) to place the reflective dot on your index finger part of the time, so that you don't tire your neck. The Dwell-to-Click unit costs the most ($299.99) but may be worth it, to save having to click with your hand or with a foot switch. This is called the trackIR AT package (or SmartNAV AT). We've sold a lot of No Hands Mouse units over the years, but many were returned because using it made your leg sore. Regards, Clair Calhoon ADA WorkLink www.worklink.net |

I bought a Track IR last year and didn't like
it. I had a hard time controlling the pointer, and once I was able to control it, it always ended up in directly in front of what I was looking at. I found that I was constantly using the keyboard to enable or disable the pointer. To the manufacturer's credit, they fully honored their 30-day money back guarantee (I don't know if they still offer it), and they didn't hassle me over the return. Their tech support was helpful and walked me through the advanced functions (which I'd already tried) to see if I could get better use out of the Track IR, but to no avail. I work in Manhattan, so it didn't matter much when I left the dot on my forehead and went out for lunch :) |

 NaturalPoint
trackIR ATAlthough a truly hands-free computing interface may be a long way off, Eye Control Technologies has taken an intriguing step toward that goal. The Eye Control NaturalPoint trackIR cursor control system offers a unique spin on the input device—or three unique spins. The kit includes an infrared receiver and three types of interfaces: the wand, the ring, and the dot. The wand and the ring are straightforward pointing devices. To operate the wand, you hold down its button to trigger a signal to the infrared receiver. It works within a 20-foot radius and is designed for presenters who want more mobility than a traditional mouse offers. You can wear the ring on your index finger to replace your notebook's pointing stick or touch pad. The infrared receiver clips directly to the top of a notebook screen and tracks the ring's movement. The most outlandish part of the kit is the dot. A sheet of 60 disposable, reflective dots comes with each kit; the dot sticks to your forehead. When you sit in front of your monitor, the dot reflects a signal to the infrared receiver, allowing you to control your computer's cursor by moving your head.
"This isn't the be-all, end-all, but it is the beginning of a revolution in the way that people interact with their computers," says Mike Vial of Eye Control Technologies. Revolutions are hard to predict, but we're interested to see what else this company comes up with.

| In the beginning: I am very impressed with the selections of computer furniture, such at carts and adjustable arms for computer monitors! I am disabled and I spend countless hours on the computer. Currently, I arranged to sit in a lazy-boy type recliner with my computer on a small cart next to me and the keyboard and mouse on a board across my lap. I want your assistance in determining the best way to position the computer monitor. Currently, the computer monitor is on a hospital-type table that is bridged across my feet which is too far away for me to see properly. I am searching for an affordable way to sit in the recliner and see the computer monitor at an arm's length away where the top of the monitor lines up with my outstretched arm. I am looking for the best ergonomic arrangement. Can one of your adjustable CRT monitor mounts be used so I can do the following: swing the monitor over my lap when I am working in the recliner, move the monitor so I can get up out of the recliner, and (when I roll the recliner away) swing the monitor onto the desk to show others my work (conventional set-up)? I live on SSI and can provide medical documentation for this arrangement. Your selection seems excellent and I want your help. Perhaps you have an entire computer-cart set up that will suit my situation? The reclined position that feels best is also called the supine position. Instead of a Zero-Gravity chair for $1,000 my adjustable hospital bed is a great substitute. The monitor is over to one side which strains my neck. Also, it is difficult typing on the keyboard balanced on my stomach. The Data_Hand seems to be the ideal input device because it adjusts to my hands typing in any orientation and I can place each unit at each side so my arms don't reach across my stomach. I may need to pay a carpenter to build me a desk strong enough to hold the monitor... Finally, the voice of reason! > where do those guys get their
prices ??? i mean the keyboard is $1000
