Summary

  • Uri Tuchman has designed a decorative foot-operated computer mouse, which could allow users to type and control the mouse without having to move their hands from the keyboard.
  • The mouse is an inlaid wood and brass platform heeled device, with a brass sole and two sections at the front to enable users to operate the mouse with their toes.
  • Although it could take a lot of practice to become skilled at using the mouse, the technological fusion of ancient craftsmanship and modern computing is an interesting development.
  • This is not the first foot-operated mouse, with one earlier version highlighted by Hackaday in 2012.
