First computer mouse

The first computer mouse is invented by Douglas

engelbart in 1963. The first computer mouse is very bulky and has only one button. It works two metal wheel which make contact with working surface.

Roll ball mouse

Bill english,assistant of Engelbarts original mouse inverted the roll ball mouse in 1972 while working for

XEROX PARC. The ball mouse has two freely rotating rollers.They are located 90 degree apart. one roller detects the forwardbackward motion and other the left-right motion.

Optical mouse
The optical mouse is a great improvement over the mechanical mouse that was created early 1976.
The optical mouse was introduced in 1999 by agilent

technologies; The technology uses a tiny camera that takes thousand of pictures per second to determine position and speed. The optical mouse use very small light emitting diode more commonly referred to as in LED which is red in colour. This LED bounce light off of a mouse pad.

Laser mouse
Laser mouse is a type of computer operating device

that uses a laser beam rather than ball to track the movement of the users hand. The lack of moving parts also makes them far less subject to damage.

Wireless mouse
Wireless mouse mainly use radio frequencies to

transmit data from the mouse to the computer. Wireless mouse require two components to work properly a radio transmitter and radio recevier.

Here, The mouseless

Introduction
The invisible computer mouse is invented in 2010 by

pranav mistry at MIT media lab. The mouseless is an invisible computer mouse that provides the famillarity of interaction of a physical mouse actually without needing a real hardware mouse. Mouseless consists of an Infrared(IR) laser beam and an Infrared camera. Both IR laser and IR camera are embedded in computer.

Working process of invisible mouse

The user cups their hand, as if a physical mouse was

present underneath and the laser beam light up the hand which is in contact with the surface. It consists of infrared laser beam and camera to track the movement of palm and finger and translate them into computer commands. The tip of radix finger is give the indication of clicking the mouse.
