Remarkable Textures and Vibrations Developers will be able to use the upcoming API for applications that will let you feel textures, surfaces, springs, liquids, and vibrations. The fidelity is remarkable. The cursor snaps to menu items so that you don't choose the wrong one. In addition, the FEELit Mouse offers some new ways of negotiating the Windows interface. When you push hard enough, the FEELit Mouse simulates the sensation of a button click, and then it sends the appropriate Windows message to the operating system.
Isometric control makes certain tasks easier, such as zooming, panning, and scrolling.
With isotonic control of the mouse, for example, you would control the position of the cursor by changing the position of the pointing device. With isometric control of the trackpoint, you would control the position of the cursor by exerting pressure on the pointing device. Games and virtual-reality software are obvious applications, but its subtle, sensory cuing makes all mouse use easier. Find out how.
