Just in time for Father's Day, Hillcrest Labs has launched its Loop pointer for consumers. The Loop pointer is a unique Freespace mouse that lets users control an on-screen cursor with the flick of wrist. It is designed to be used by the growing number of consumers who connect their PC or Mac to a TV.

The Loop features a distinctive design, is round and ergonomic and includes four buttons and a scroll wheel. It's just like any other wireless mouse, but better.

Freespace Technology features:

• High Accuracy/Precision: highly precise pointer which allows users to point to individual pixels on a high-resolution screen.
• Orientation Compensation: regardless of the orientation of the device in space, it generates intuitive cursor motions on the screen.
• Adaptive Tremor Removal: can distinguish between intentional and unintentional movement, including natural hand tremors. The Loop pointer dynamically measures each individual user's specific tremor and unintentional movements and removes them.
• No Line-of-Site: uses RF (radio frequency) technology, so users do not need to point directly at the computer or TV screen. The Loop pointer is great for at-home use or in the office giving presentations.

The Brando keyboard features a 2.4GHz RF USB transmitter that can be tucked into the keyboard itself. It also comes equipped with 87 keys + 18 hot keys and a high precision Multi-Touch touchpad.

With the 2.4GHz RF transmitter, you can be up to 10 feet away from you computer and still use it.

With support for only Windows XP and Vista, this keyboard will only work for PCs. But, if you own a media center PC, then you should definitely look into this all-in-one board from Brando.
