This conceptual wearable mouse ring is a different kind of computer peripheral that will provide users with a more comfortable way to get work done when spending extended periods of time seated in front of their terminal. The mouse works by being worn on the fingertips and will go to work being used on any surface by interpreting the swiping motions of the wearer. This will allow them to easily click, scroll and sweep without having to physically hold a conventional mouse in their palm as they go.
The conceptual wearable mouse ring is the design work of Ijhoo Yoon and could help to dramatically reduce the instance of repetitive stress injuries by allowing users to keep their hand in an organic position at all times.
