Newsgroups: sci.med.occupational You can try out head tracking devices that don't require a mouse at all. I have a mac system with a head tracker called a HeadMaster from PRC. It has an ultrasound headset that you wear and a mouth tube to blow to click. I have had trouble with it as it seems to send constant "mouseup" signals-- I am using a Quadra with system 7 and this thing seems to be kind of old. But its the right idea. Let me know if you find something like this.

He tried a very primitive head tracking system. If you don't know, Doug invented the mouse, windows, menus, display editing and implemented the first hypertext system.
