Using a mouse is old-hat, if the recent wave of ball-shaped motion-sensing PC remotes is anything to go by. Straight out of Japan, the Puyocon can be squeezed, thrown around or rolled, controlling actions on the computer.<\/p>

The Entertainment Computing Laboratory, at Tsukuba University in Japan, should hook up with Cambridge Consultants, whose Suma controller<\/a> has been designed especially for PC gaming. Both ideas are very interesting, taking the Wiimote as influence, with 14 pressure sensors, a three-way acceleration sensor and Bluetooth taking up the core parts of the Puyocon. Could these balls wipe out traditional computer mice in the future?<\/p>

Check out the video below for a demo of how the Puyocon is used. [Puyocon<\/a> via Crunchgear<\/a>]<\/p>
