Mouse Box is being developed
by some Polish engineers, and apparently they are seeking funding to take it into
production and marketing. But what is it?
It is an entire computer put
inside a normal sized mouse – about the same as the mouse you probably use daily. All you would need is a monitor (or screen) and a
keyboard, and you are in business, no matter where you go. Wireless, perhaps to the keyboard and the
monitor. Not much information is yet
available. But watch for this. I could see this as good for such things as PowerPoint
presentations on the road, where you just walk in the room, and use the mouse instead of your computer. You would just run the entire show from the mouse device.
It functions as a normal mouse too, so if you are working in a cubicle, using a corporate computer for a living, but would like to see your own stuff now and then, you can switch back and forth from the boss's computer to your own by just switching the mouse from passive (running the corporate issued computer) to active (using your own data). On your lunch hour you could have your own computer stuff on the screen, for example.
I am not sure how this improves on just having a smart phone in your pocket, but, I pass this along as a potential future option.
