The computer mouse and flat "desktop" themed operating systems have hardly evolved since their inception. But the recent creation of a genuine, working 3D mouse system that you wear as a ring on one finger could open the door to a new model of GUI display that lets the user explore an interface in intuitive 3D. Could we be moving towards a revolution in interface interactivity?

Well, "ain't it cool?" Matrixville!
But, even then, you would have to move your hand in the air, ala virtual glovelyness. Too much work.
Why not an eye-mounted mouse, tracking pupil movement for directionality, with a double blink for left click (to avoid wiping out a file by a normal single blink), and a triple blink for right click? With the speed of double/triple blink-rate user-settable?
This would also be useful for those who may be handicapped or paralyzed (either physically or motivationally).
(PC mouse style--for Macintosh users, well, we'll develop that interface for Apple Mac-folks when we can economically justify the development of same for that minor portion of the market...)
OK, it was just an eye-dea...8^}

You said it! It's probably not far off; Microsoft probably already has a patent for it.
