Structure and Rationale

A mouse is a small device that a computer user drags across a desk


surface to point to a location on a display screen and select one or more
actions to be performed from that location. The mouse is now an essential
component of any personal computer's graphical user interface (GUI). The
mouse got its name because it was about the same size and color as a toy
mouse. It is made up of a metal or plastic housing or casing, a ball that
protrudes from the bottom of the casing and is rolled on a flat surface, one
or more buttons on the top of the casing, and a cable that connects the
mouse to the computer. A sensor sends impulses to the computer as the
ball moves across the surface in any direction, causing a mouse-
responsive program to reposition a visible indicator (called a cursor) on the
display screen. The positioning is relative to an unknown starting point. The
user readjusts the cursor's position by moving the mouse while viewing its
current position.

Although the mouse has become a familiar part of the personal


computer, its design continues to evolve and there continue to be other
approaches to pointing or positioning on a display. The primary goal of the
current invention is to address the aforementioned drawbacks by creating a
computer mouse that can be worn as a glove and has a tracking device for
directing the movement of the cursor on a video display and one or more
switches for directing mouse "click" actions. Since it directly conforms to
the user's hand and does not require the user to adapt his or her hand to
the mouse, the computer mouse on a glove of the present invention
represents the culmination of ergonomic design. By doing this, the user's
hand is kept under less strain, illnesses like Carpel tunnel syndrome are
avoided, and productivity is increased. This product might well be made to
fit a variety of hand sizes, and the combination of a stretch fabric and an
adjustable wrist strap makes it simple to accommodate a variety of hand
and finger sizes.
Importance

Many people are likely to acknowledge this invention because it will


alleviate the discomfort and numbness caused by the traditional computer
mouse. This gloved mouse is designed for people who work from home
and take online classes. One of the many ergonomic mouse benefits is that
a power gloved mouse reduces your risk. Mouse Arm is a catch-all term for
a variety of different types of pain-producing damage to the arms,
shoulders, and hands caused by prolonged mouse use.
