AT Device of the Month
The Head Mouse Extreme uses a "wireless optical sensor" to translate the user's head movement to function as a computer's mouse pointer. It works just like a standard mouse and plugs directly into a USB port.
Head Mouse Extreme is available for demonstration and device loan at both the Baton Rouge and Shreveport offices. Please contact us for details and to schedule an appointment. |
