Movea’s Gyration Motionsense Air Mouse adds to the ranks of new mice with gyros and accelerometers inside so you can control your computer just by waving them mid-air.

As if that’s not enough, it’s also got a standard laser mouse option in case your arm gets tired. Available early October for $US100. Press release below. galleryPost('gyrationairmouse', 3, '');
