Best New Technology of the Decade

When is a mouse not a mouse?

When it is a guitar! The idea of creating a drum or guitar out of a mouse controller is one the best ideas of the new century.

Entertainment games, like Guitar Hero http://hub.guitarhero.com/ and Rock Band http://www.rockband.com/ , always lead the way by thinking "outside of the box."

The software that generates the video players in Rock Band is called Reallusions.  http://www.reallusion.com/

It is available to animators and video producers. It works like Adobe Photoshop: you capture pictures or video with your camera, outline the images, and use various filters to edit the images.

Tell me you didn't see that coming: a mouse that looks like a guitar. Who'da thunk it?
