Logitech has unveiled a new computer mouse that can operate mid-air. The Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless mouse uses a laser system and works similar to a television remote control.

The new device operates using three technology systems: Freespace motion-control, gesture command and wireless. Logitech officials say the MX Air Rechargeable Cordless mouse was designed using MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors, DSP (digital signal processing) technology and RF (radio frequency) wireless technology. Additionally, specific algorithms can distinguish between intentional and unintentional hand gestures - thereby only responding to intended movements.
