Glassouse
The world's first assistive mouse that help people control electronics without using hands
Inspired by his friend Caner’s experience, Turkish designer Mehmet Turker has invented an assistive device so that people who can’t use a mouse or touchscreen can enjoy new technology – without using their hands.
GlassOuse gives people with disabilities more control of their computers via a head-tracking headset (Glasses + Mouse – GlassOuse). It replaces the mouse with simple head tilts and biting.
A new wearable may soon help people engage with electronics without having to use their hands. Users don the Glassouse like they would a pair of glasses. The device connects to electronics via Bluetooth and responds to head movements to manipulate a cursor around the screen. The mouth piece – which curves in front of the face like a headset microphone – functions as a button. Users can bite or click the button to select items on the screen.
