This Finger-Driven 3D Mouse Will Let You Pinch an Avatar's Ass from Five Thousand Miles Away

The Mycestro is a finger-driven 3D mouse project on Kickstarter which has already raised more than $50,000 of its $100K goal, and watching this video, you can guess why.

More on this from Wired:

Mycestro is a user interface tool that enables gesture control without the arm-fatigue issues of Minority Report-style motion tracking. It changes how you interact with your desktop and, by offering new ways to control them, could even change how those desktops are designed in the first place.

The finger attachment is a pretty clever solution to the "Won't this make my arm tired?" problem most other gesture-driven interfaces provoke. And from a virtual world/gaming perspective, it's easy to imagine how this could be incorporated into new interactive experiences that merge real world movement to digital commands.

That title makes you look something rather sexist, to the point of being unpleasant. If you want in-world ass-pinching to be easier, where do I sign up for the knee-in-the-balls option?

Also known as bats, flying mice, or wands, these devices generally function through ultrasound and provide at least three degrees of freedom. Probably the best known example would be 3Dconnexion/Logitech's SpaceMouse from the early 1990s. In the late 1990s Kantek introduced the 3D RingMouse.

Last time I checked, Arabella, both genders have asses, oh yes, and are prone to pinch other asses, of the opposite gender or their own, each according to the ass that they prefer.
