In the war against RSI a new weapon has been developed in The Netherlands, in a collaboration between the company Hippus and the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.

This revolutionary design keeps the hand in a complete relaxed position to avoid RSI. The results speak for themselves (warning: the site is in Dutch, but the images are understandable). Click on the flash movie to see how it works.

I am very curious how the mouse… ehm… Horse will work. One observation is already that it is not (that) ugly. Easthetically I think it looks more like a (sting) Ray than a Horse, but then again you don’t put your hand to go horse back riding on a sting ray. Another observation: please hurry to develop a wireless version.

Motto

I believe that consumers nowadays are looking for rich sensorial, emotional and meaningful experiences, not merely for ‘just’ a product or service. It is up to the companies to challenge their designers, R&D department and marketers to (positively) influence the experiential impact of their products and services.
