A Microsoft wireless optical mouse. An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED), and a light detector, such as an array of photodiodes, to detect movement relative to a surface. Variations of the optical mouse have largely replaced the older mechanical mouse design, which uses moving ...
A mechanical mouse jiggler for an Apple mouse. A mouse jiggler is a software used to simulate the movement of a computer mouse. [1] [2] It can also be a mechanical device moving the physical computer mouse. In all cases, it prevents sleep mode, standby mode or the screensaver from activating. Mouse jigglers are also known as mouse movers. [3]
Jean-Daniel Nicoud (born 31 August 1938), is a Swiss computer scientist, noted for inventing of a computer mouse with an optical encoder and the CALM (Common Assembly Language for microprocessors). [1] He obtained a degree in physics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 1963. Around 1965, he became interested in logical ...
IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 Microsoft IntelliMouse with IntelliEye optical sensor mouse. IntelliMouse is a series of computer mice from Microsoft.The IntelliMouse series is credited with a number of innovations; [1] Microsoft was among the first mouse vendors to introduce a scroll wheel, [2] an optical mouse, and dedicated auxiliary buttons on the side of the mouse.
[7] [8] A low-resolution "mostly digital" N-channel MOSFET (NMOS) imager with intra-pixel amplification, for an optical mouse application, was demonstrated by Richard F. Lyon in 1981. [9] Another type of image sensor technology that is related to the APS is the hybrid infrared focal plane array (IRFPA), [ 1 ] designed to operate at cryogenic ...
Kirsch (right) with Dick Lyon, the other independent inventor of the optical mouse. In 1980, Kirsch and Richard F. Lyon independently invented the first versions of the optical mouse. [2] Kirsch has started several companies. In 1993, he founded the search engine Infoseek, which in 1999 was sold to the Walt Disney Co.
Universal Scrolling is a software function within IntelliPoint that allows a scroll wheel to work with programs that do not natively support that method of input. If a program supports scroll wheels natively, the Universal Scrolling feature will generally not interfere with the native implementation.
