Don't Click it. Institute for interactive research.

I really enjoyed the premise behind this site, rather than using the mouse to click and change from section to section you need only rest the cursor over a specific point and the dynamic interface does the rest.

There was a certain freedom that I found in not being required to use the mouse in the traditional sense. One solution to prevent clicking provided by the institute is the Mouse Wrap, which is a spiked cover which you place over the right and left clickers, effective.

The inclusion of historical usage of the click was also pretty interesting; dating back to 300 BCE with the Greek Countingboard to the SAGE radio control center to modern computing. Alternative methods to clicking buttons are swiping the cursor over the button in a linear or circular motion or holding the cursor over the button for a determined amount of time. I am curious if this sort of interface would provide less irritation or agitation to those with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The whole idea of not having to click, though, is really interesting, I see this is as some part of what the future holds.


Here is another interface that is definitely going to be seen in future implementation.
