Click Your Mouse without Lifting a Finger

By Williams, John M.; Business Week Online,
Publication Date: April 2000

Article discussing Edmark's TouchFree Switch, a "no-touch" device that works like a computer mouse without the finger-controlled click. This mouse emulator can be tailored to recognize body movements as the equivalent of a mouse click, whether it's an arm wave, a slight head tilt, or the blink of an eye. It can be effective for anyone who would like to do away with having to make a repetitive finger-clicking motion, which can lead to inflamed tendons, fatigue, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
