The tablet PC laptop has been adapted to respond to a user when moving the machine up or down, side to side, or forwards and backwards.
It is hoped the BT Balance system can help people with disabilities or the elderly, for whom using a keyboard or mouse can be difficult. The technology is under development at BT’s research labs in Ipswich.
BT researcher David Chatting said: “We want to give people access to services in as simple a manner as possible. “PCs are still very complicated. We are interested in the older user who is slightly fearful of this technology. The PC, monitor and mouse puts them off.”
He said the idea was to make using a computer as easy as using an Etch-A-Sketch toy.
