A motion-sensitive laptop which can be controlled much like a Nintendo Wii remote is under development. The tablet PC laptop has been adapted to respond to a user when moving the machine up or down, side to side, or forwards and backwards.
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.
The technology is under development at BT's research labs in Ipswich. Hmmm interesting, can't really see how it would be handy for the disabled, but still. BBC News Report

Have you seen the eye control thing they showed off on Click Online a few weeks back? That looks well better for the disabled.

Nah actually I think it was your eyes. Dunno haha! I remember seeing the brain controlled one. The user puts on a cap with a load of sensors connected to it and you can control computer functions like move the cursor and select things. That was a pretty funky bit of kit. Don't rememeber seeing that eye controlled one on that episode though? A Motion Sensitive Laptop? What a useless idea! I dont see the point nor the benifit of it lol
