Craig Venter’s dual-jet Oyster has a cool boat-shaped mouse controller. Barry Schuler (former AOL CEO) felt right at home using it. The mouse can move in all directions (and spin) while translating the movements into instructions for the engines and steering systems. Barry is using it for the first time, sliding the boat out of the narrow slip.

    You see, had it been me, I’d have put in an Atari joystick (and a horn on the fire/red button). My hand is already on a mouse enough hours of the day.
