Recently, use of a computer becomes common and it has
spread as a tool useful for anyone. In the background, there
is development of the user interface for computer operation.
Also in user interface, a mouse interface is famous. The
mouse interface was developed for the first time by Douglas
Carl Engelbart in 1961. Various mouse interfaces in which a
design and convenience were considered were developed. A
mainstream mouse interface has three functions, “Left-click”,
“Right-click” and “Cursor movement”. Currently, a mouse
interface with these three functions is in use. However, these
mouse interfaces have operation restrictions. It is that a flat
place is indispensable. From this, we think that there is big
interest in a new mouse interface with the basic function of
the mouse without needing operation restrictions of the
existing mouse interface.
In this paper, we propose the new mouse system with a
different concept by using the Augmented Reality, and
develop a prototype system.
