INTERACTION AT A NEW LEVEL
Whereas most users are comfortable with keyboards and mouse pointing devices currently in use, there is evidence to suggest that input devices will become more elaborate in the future. There are some companies that offer specialized input devices like gloves that are directly connected to the computer. The gloves measure the movement of the user's hand and translate these movements into operations that allow the user to "pick up," for example, objects that he or she views on the screen or in a headset/ visor.
