Logitech Introduces The Future Of PC Navigation

Posted on September, Thursday 06, 2007 By itVARnews Staff

New Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Mouse Works on the Desk and in the Air.



The future of PC navigation starts now. Logitech, the $ 2 billion Swiss digital lifestyle peripherals major today introduced the Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse, a versatile laser mouse that works on the desk and in the air. Similar to the way people use a remote to control a television, when holding the MX Air mouse, people can now lean back and relax while navigating the computer and enjoying media content.

For many, the computer is now much more than a productivity tool. It serves as a hub for digital media, demanding a new way for people to control, consume and enjoy music, photos and videos on the PC. To enable effortless in-air navigation, the new mouse combines three important technologies - Freespace motion-control, gesture command and wireless - so people can point, select and play media files with just a flick of the wrist.

"The MX Air mouse offers a radically new way for people to control their PC entertainment," said Moninder Jain, Di

rector, India and South East Asia. "It's for anyone who has listened to music on their PC and been frustrated by having to return to the desk to change songs or volume. It's for people who want to share vacation photos with friends and family without being tied to the desk. It's for any of the millions of people using the Internet to browse and watch videos on sites such as YouTube or Grouper. And it's for people with a living-room computer or media PC who want to navigate their media content on their terms."

Freespace motion control technology is designed to provide accurate, responsive navigation without the limitations encountered by previous in-air pointing devices. This patented technology is based on a combination of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors, DSP (digital signal processing) technology and RF (radio frequency) wireless technology. These combined technologies allow a user to hold the mouse in any orientation, point in any direction, and enjoy effortles
