TRIZ - The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving Having recently turned 40, the computer mouse is a much unchanged input device for the modern computer. I believe that it is a time to change the way we interact with computers, and move away from being limited to the use of a computer by a desk. Current technology (and humans fear of computers taking over the world!) prevents a direct link from the user’sbrain to the computer, but the next best alternative would be the gesture/touch interfaces that are currently being developed. This new technology aims to create an alternative input to the mouse, however is a costly alternative. Another problem developers are encountering is with the gesture system is shrinking the electronics behind it into a small enough package to fit into modern displays and laptops. Triz contradictions are therefore: # 6 (Size) against #2 (weight) & #22 (Reliability) against#33 (ease of operation). Solutions to these problems are: • •
• •
#2 Taking out : Separate an interfering part or property from an object, or single out the only necessary part (or property) of an object. #14 Spheroidality :Curvature Instead of using rectilinear parts, surfaces, or forms, use curvilinear ones; move from flat surfaces to spherical ones; from parts shaped as a cube (parallelepiped) to ball-shaped structures #40 Composite materials: Change from uniform to composite (multiple) materials. #27 Cheap short-living objects: Replace an inexpensive object with a multiple of inexpensive objects, comprising certain qualities (such as service life, for instance).
From these suggestions using 2 contradictions (there are more than 2 but for the purposes of this exercise 2 is enough) I can see that the TRIZ method focuses mainly on physical aspects of the problem. Going on what has been found using the table, the new input device should feature parts that can be replaced individually if required, orb like in form (e.g. a spherical enclosure for the camera if used) and be made from a combination of different materials (using plastic where possible as metal is more costly). From a technological point of view, I would systems combined with touch screens that companies. Unfortunately the human arm is periods of use, and as pointed out by experts, device available today.
certainly go for gesture based are being perfected by other prone to strain after prolonged the mouse is still the best input
