Normal people can click the mouse and type on the keyboard with their hands, but how can the people with upper limb disabilities click the mouse and surf the Internet? Recently, several university students from the Nanjing University of Science and Technology came up with an idea to invent a device where people can control a mouse with their feet. They have called the mouse “Talang.” The “Talang” mouse looks like a large slipper with a blue waves design. According to the students that invented it, wearing the “slipper,” people can click the left mouse button by pressing the slipper with their forefoot, click the right button by pressing the slipper with their heel and browse the websites by moving their foot.
