Apple continues to invoke speculation by filing another patent for multi-touch capabilities. This time it’s in a mouse. Apple has filed a patent for a multi-touch mouse that Apple describes as a “mouse with [an] optical sensing surface”.
The idea is that the button-less mouse will be able to sense finger gestures and the position of your fingers on the body of the mouse. Furthermore, you will be able to interact with different objects on the screen using the gestures and positions of your fingers. Quite an interesting concept. With Apple making a bold declaration in January for having 200+ patents for the iPhone, could this be a sign of another revolutionary Apple product coming from Cupertino?
