ABSTRACT:
A finger-fitting pointing device is disclosed. There is at least one housing. Each housing can be fabricated from a flexible, glove-like material, and fits a finger of a user. A click sensor is disposed in the underside of each housing, and is actuated by the user pressing the underside of the housing with the inserted finger against an external surface. An optical sensor is also disposed within the surface of a housing, and detects relative movement of this surface against an external surface, as caused by relative movement of the user's finger.
