That is fascinating MawBroon - it looks very impressive. It seems it is just a prototype and there is no firm plan to manufacture it - which would seem to be a shame, both from PD sufferers' point of view and microsoft, who might make a mint out of it!!

What a wonderful invention, should definitely be manufactured. I suffer from tremors due to medication and would love one of these.

I remember seeing it on a TV programme, and thinking how wonderful, but had forgotten until MawBroon's post. It really should have funding for development.
