British Telecom (BT) currently develops a technology called BT Balance System, which eliminates the need for a mouse or keyboard on notebook computer when performing some tasks. The Balance System utilizes a motion sensitive chip and a special software enabling users to turn pages of electronic books and documents with a simple flip of the monitor, for example.
Also, using this technology, which is similar to the motion-sensing used in the Nintendo Wii gaming console, maps could be read by tilting the screen up or down, left or right, corresponding to moving the map north, south, west or east.
BBC reports it is hoped the BT Balance system can help people with disabilities or the elderly, for whom using a keyboard or mouse can be difficult.
