“Air mice” have been around for a while now. The most common use for them has been in power point presentations. Just last year Nintendo brought a new functionality to the concept with the “Wii-mote” for the Nintendo Wii. Gamers who use the Wii can move the controller in the air to control the on screen movement. The idea wasn’t 100% new, but it was the first time it had been used in gaming. Now PC gamers can possibly enjoy the same air movement controller system. It will all depend if developers like the idea enough to include support for such a feature in future game releases.

Logitech has created the “MX Air Mouse” which is essentially a sleeker more high tech looking Wii-mote. It’s black, slick, curved, and costs around $150. It might not take off as quickly or as successfully as the Wii-mote concept, but, it does open the door for possibilities for more similar “Air mice” gadgets for the PC.
