The Suma Mouse Concept
Posted on January 19, 2010
Plenty of gadgets and technologies have been formulated over the years to interact with computers and laptops. There have been keyboards, mouse and touchscreens, to name a few. And this time round at CES, there has been yet another innovative technique that impressed quite a big audience – the SUMA concept. This has been developed by the Cambridge Consultants.
The SUMA platform is said to be way to interact with computers based on pressure applied in a 3D environment. This pressure is then converted into a format that can be interpreted by the computer. In the SUMA platform, the variations of pressure points and the amount of pressure applied can seemingly be gauged too.
Cambridge Consultants demonstrated the working of this platform in a game, where squeezing the physical interface, caused the ball on the computer screen to shrink in size. Plus, physically turning the interface caused the objects to tilt on the screen as well.
According to the company, the SUMA platform can find use in various fields, like medicine, industries, arts and music as well. There has been no exact information as to which devices which actually come out with this interface. However, a company insider has mentioned that such devices can be expected in 2011.

The future is a scary place, yes — but one thing we don’t need to fear is being unaware that we’re thirsty. Research and development firm Cambridge Consultants will be showing off its intriguing "i-dration" concept fitness water bottle at CES in a few weeks, combining a series of sensors on the bottle itself that communicate with an app you’ve got installed on your smartphone. The bottle will measure ambient temperature, how much fluid you’ve pounded, and how often you’ve consumed it; the phone, meanwhile, will use its accelerometer to measure how hard you’re working out and combine that with heart rate data from a chest strap. After crunching some numbers, the app determines whether you’re low on H2O — and if you are, it’ll make a blue light on the bottle pulse. If it seems like a roundabout way to stay hydrated… well, that’s because it is, but Cambridge’s angle is that this is a demonstrator for cool new ways that sensors can be tightly packed and integrated with smartphones to…
