Samsung SCH-V960 – the world’s first ‘optical joystick’ mobile phone
All new phones need a unique selling point – and the Samsung SCH-V960 is no different, featuring an ‘optical joystick’, which it claims will revolutionize how we interact with our handsets.
The purpose is to navigate faster around the phone’s functions. To use the optical joystick, you place your finger on the phone, then as you move it, the cursor, using optical sensors, scrolls around in similar fashion to a PC mouse. The big benefit here is 360-degree movement – not just the traditional four directions. This probably works in similar fashion as the HP HX4700 touchpad, which did not get very warm acceptance!
