The end of the mouse for 2013 ...
She has beautiful dress in a multitude of buttons, latest generation laser lens or Bluetooth connectivity incredible, according to U.S. firm Gartner , the mouse may no longer be relevant by 2011 to 2013. Indeed, this navigation device will soon be replaced by more intuitive controllers.
We see more and more, the mouse is a species of voice loss . You just have to look at current technologies: touch screens, Wiimotes, ... everything is done for the use is intuitive and less cumbersome. According to Steve Prentice, the mouse is already obsolete for use in home entertainment or laptops. Gartner therefore counts on touch screens and facial recognition and gesture to replace our field mouse after 40 years of loyal service.
This revolution is not made fashionable by the industry of mice . For Logitec, there are still many good years to mice prior to its termination ... and you, what do you think?
I think the wood mouse still has good years ahead of him!
I believe that at present none of these innovations is still as accurate as a mouse! I do not see the excel or word with a touch screen, so no mouse! Let alone play on my PC with a Wiimote, which, incidentally, is nothing more than a wireless controller, albeit with detecting movement of a sensor relative to the screen!
I'll add just one thing, today we see a real hype about netbooks, which underlines the real desire for mobility. I think this view of the, the only technology that could be used would be mainly a multitouch pad! And yes, forced mobility, people do not want to lug around with paraphernalia heavy and bulky! The multitouch pad, if it is still ameloré, may be the major player in the eventual disappearance of the mouse in my opinion!
Already, the mouse is almost "totally out" when it comes to laptop. In addition to the rest, some companies are currently working (and they are rather well) on the retinal gesture that will allow a better precision than the current mouse. In terms of video games, I do not know. That said, here's a taste of what could be browsing in the games of tomorrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AO0F5sLdVM
"Already, the mouse is almost" totally out "when it comes to laptop" <- yes to the purchase, except that most people are plugged a mouse over it. And the trackpad even multimachin is well dla stew, an effect that makes you laugh gadget at the beginning but still more annoying than a mouse in the end.
And then if we replace the mouse by another device, I imagine the upheaval for all apps that perform operations when hovering over certain areas.
