Hands-free keyboard and mouse

Japanse company Actbrise has developed a hands-free mouse and keyboard for people who have impaired upper body mobility. The user tilts his head slightly to either side to operate the pointer, to click, enter data, and to switch back and forth between keyboard and mouse.



The price is 298,000 Yen (about $2600), so it's not yet an accessibility tool that's really accessible to most people. No word on availability in the U.S.
