An early Xerox optical mouse chip, before the development of the inverted packaging design of Williams and Cherry. The first two optical mice, first demonstrated by two independent inventors in December 1980, had different basic designs: [1] [2] [3] One of these, invented by Steve Kirsch of MIT and Mouse Systems Corporation, [4] [5] used an infrared LED and a four-quadrant infrared sensor to ...
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.
Optical flow sensors are used extensively in computer optical mice, as the main sensing component for measuring the motion of the mouse across a surface. Optical flow sensors are also being used in robotics applications, primarily where there is a need to measure visual motion or relative motion between the robot and other objects in the ...
Later, more surface-independent optical mice use an optoelectronic sensor (essentially, a tiny low-resolution video camera) to take successive images of the surface on which the mouse operates. Battery powered, wireless optical mice flash the LED intermittently to save power, and only glow steadily when movement is detected.
Combines optical sensor with an accelerometer, allowing the mouse to track speeds in excess of 500 inches per second, and more than 16G in acceleration. 108 g (3.8 oz) (without cable) 144 g (5.1 oz) (with cable)
MOS image sensors are widely used in optical mouse technology. The first optical mouse, invented by Richard F. Lyon at Xerox in 1980, used a 5 μm NMOS integrated circuit sensor chip. [33] [34] Since the first commercial optical mouse, the IntelliMouse introduced in 1999, most optical mouse devices use CMOS sensors. [35]
