Title
Soap: how to make a mouse work in mid-air
Abstract
Computer mice do not work in mid air. The reason is that a mouse is really only half an input device - the other half being the surface the mouse is operated on, such as a mouse pad. In this demo, we demonstrate how to combine a mouse and a mouse pad into soap, a device that can be operated in mid air with a single hand. We have used soap to control video games, interact with wall displays and Windows Media Center, and to give slide presentations.
