SmartNav 4 Hands Free Mouse – Levels the Playing Field for Computer Games

So say you are online playing your favorite first person shooter, like “Counter Strike”, when one person in particular starts to really lay the smack down on you. “Who is this guy?” you may ask yourself. “How did he get so good at this?”

Wouldn’t it be a slap in the face to find out that the person who beat you… no, wait… embarassed you is confined to a wheelchair as has no use of their arms or legs? That’s worse than the time a ten year old kid gave me the beating of my life at an arcade game, then said, “Who’s your daddy now?” (it’s okay; I stuffed him in a trashcan and then hit on his mother)

The SmartNav 4 Hands Free Mouse makes this scary idea a possibility. By using an infrared camera mounted on your computer monitor, the SmartNav 4 picks up movement from a small, self-adhesive reflective dot that you can put on your head, your microphone, or your hat. Simple head movements control the mouse and the included software allows to you to adjust the speed at which the cursor moves. You can click by using hot keys on your keyboard, optional switches for your hands or feet, optional voice command software, and optional dwell clicking software that clicks when the mouse hovers in one place for a certain period of time.

Speaking from experience, this thing isn’t just for those with disabilities. If you are like The Gadget Man (you should be so lucky) and you work at a computer all day, the SmartNav 4 Hands Free Mouse can improve your productivity as well as help relieve/prevent carpal tunnel. If you play games like “Counter Strike”, this gives you an unbelievable advantage.

So check out the SmartNav 4 Hands Free Mouse if you haven’t already – and if you manage to convince your boss to buy it for you, please, tell me how you did it!

SmartNav 4 Hands Free Mouse is available at a bunch of places, but http://www.activeforever.com seems to have the best price, and they have a video of a quadriplegic using it while playing “Counter Strike”.

Now let’s give those ten year olds a beating,
