Greetings All;

As promised, or at least hoped for, here is the info on the Gyration GyroEngine.

There will be more info to come.

By the way I got permission from Gyration to scan and email the info.

When Gyration send me the info packet there were several more pages of info that I
will not be scanning in, but you can get the whole package from them.

p.s. typos are the OCRs fault not mine.

Data Sheet

GyroPoint is the newest generation pointing device for users of PCs, portables and
workstations. It can be operated both on a surface, with the same ease of a mouse,
or while held in mid-air, with unlimited range of movement. GyroPoint takes a new
approach to computer pointing by using internal motion sensors to provide
high-resolution, real-time cursor tracking for 2D software applications.

GyroPoint's patented optic technology allows intuitive cursor control by sensing the
natural pointing motions of your hand. You can use GyroPoint on your desktop, on
your lap, on the arm of your chair, or by simply lifting the lightweight device up
in your hand and pointing to on-screen objects.

GyroPoint's mobility and precision make it ideal for computer presentations,
allowing you to walk about freely while controlling graphics. GyroPoint provides
1250 counts per inch resolution tversus the 400 cpi typical of most pointer devices)
to allow easy control on largescreen displays.
