You might have come across a load of mouse-pointer designs before. Most of those stick to the common rounded shape with a wheel, the two buttons and at times media keys. We came across a mouse that sure points the right way, the Mus3 computer mouse shaped like the cursor itself! Beautifully designed and ergonomic, this mouse keeps out the right click button, instead having the scroll wheel do the job. The left-click rests at the mouse’s tip. Designed by Artemy Lebedev, the Mus3 mouse also packs an LED indicator that lights up when the batteries are low and need replacement. Available in two colors, linen and anthracite, the mouse is comfortable to use and connects via USB.

We all love travelling, at least most of and the only hitch in a perfect holiday would be bad food and the language barrier. The first can be helped by carrying our own stocks but the second is more tedious, grabbing a dictionary everytime someone babbled in an alien language. If this concept, the T-mate, traveler interpreter comes into a reality, then that problem gets dissolved too. This device is like headphones and translates the local language to your own. It also has a camera that will zoom in on any sign board and translate that as well. Like one of these sci-fi movies, isn’t it!

Who likes to exercise? No, I am not talking about people who take life so serious, they think of being all super healthy always and eat crackers for tea time! I am talking about more laid-back, chocolate-loving and cheese-craving folk like us. The Osim Curve looks like something that could keep us healthy while allowing us to indulge in the aforementioned. The design is something that can be used in water and what you will need to do is try and balance on it and even try to play games on it making you sweat. It looks funky and has mini light projectors to maintain balance I think. The board can also accommodate more than one person.

By Andrew Liszewski, the Acoustable features a built-in sound system too, turning your average coffee table into a home stereo of sorts.
