d-VISION is a design program initiated by Mr. Sami Sagol, who is chairman of the Israeli conglomerate, The Keter Group. Its aim, as stated on the program’s official website, is “to foster the next generation of outstanding industrial designers”.

One of d-VISION’s interesting design concepts is a computer mouse, that resembles a oddly shaped gaming joystick. Called the “City Mouse and Village Mouse”, it is supposed to map the intuitive movements of the user based on how we normally move objects in the real world.

the sleek curves of the computer mouse, like a sculptural art form, is designed for ergonomic functions other than pure aesthetics.

The replication of natural movement is expected to reduce the likelihood of muscle tension and tendon injuries that result from prolonged use, such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome. Wireless operation will also allow it to be used from anywhere in the home.
