What an amazing input device.
There are input devices on the market , such as air mice and VR controllers, that can be used without being placed on a desk .
Use your mouse or pen while floating in the air.
Haply Robotics' MinVerse is a rather unusual aerial input device that allows you to use a pen or mouse in a three-dimensional space supported by an arm.
The texture is directly felt in your hands
You may not need it for your everyday PC work, but it comes in handy when designing 3D objects .
The mouse or pen provides haptic feedback, allowing you to feel the bumps and texture of the object you are creating . You can create things with realistic textures, such as the feeling of sculpting clay , the elasticity of jelly , or velvet that is smooth in one direction and resistant in the other .
You can also move robots and drones.
The "MinVerse" is a smaller version of its predecessor, " Inverse 3". Even though it's small, it's versatile enough to be used for controlling robotic arms and drones , playing games , and performing remote surgery.
It's ingenious and convenient, but since your elbows and wrists are left floating, it may cause stiff shoulders.
