Some day, in the distant future, we'll be activating windows, clicking
buttons, and playing Farmville with our minds. Our minds. There have
been attempts to get us there, none fully comprehensive, though the
Evigroup Paddle Pro tablet is taking an interesting alternative
approach: using head tracking to control the cursor. Apparently its
front-facing webcam detects your front-facing mug and as you look
about the screen it moves the cursor appropriately. Staring rudely at
any button or control for a half-second equates to a click and, while
we don't yet know how you'll double-click, we'd like to think a
spasmodic twitch will be required. Evigroup is also launching a curvy
keyboard to go with the Paddle Pro and is promising the ability to
play video and audio wirelessly courtesy of a "small station" that
connects to your TV. The internals, meanwhile, are perfectly
predictable: a netbook spec Atom N450 struggling with Windows 7 Home
Premium. No word on price or availability.
