Input Devices

Ah the input devices, the common accessories required to make computers work. Among the common input devices, the mouse and keyboard, there are ones that are much more interesting. There is a pen and pad that artists use to make the lines and details in their digital art to be slicker and smoother. These pads are about the size of tablets and use a stylus pen to function, or you can just use your finger. The reason for this device is to achieve accuracy that is near impossible to do with mouses, and it works beautifully in that regard.

Another interesting input device that will likely not be used for a while is the Virtual Reality Gloves. These things allow motion control in a virtual reality setting, how sick is that? It is currently in prototype stages, so they won't be sold for quite some time, but it would allow hand movements to register as mouse movements on the screen.

For other input devices that might peak your interest, this site will send you to a good one with really cool input devices. There are some that are as ancient as the dirt you walk on, and some like these VR gloves that are newer in nature. Check it out if you get the chance, until then I will be lounging around. Till next time.
