You're in Wearforge -> Wearhard -> CirqueCruiseCat

The Cirque Cruise Cat ( http://www.cirque.com/products/cruisecat.shtml ) is a 2 button touchpad that has 4 virtual buttons. Three of the virtual buttons are programmable; the fourth activates gesture recognition. Unfortunately, as of yet, only Win9X, NT4 and win2000 have drivers that support the virtual buttons.

Driver for Linux on Agenda VR with source at: http://home.earthlink.net/~wearable/drivers/cirque/LinuxPocketkeys.zip

Linux has software available to handle the gesture recognition (libStroke - for X - http://www.etla.net/libstroke/ ) provided the virtual buttons can be interpritted and "programmed". Could GPM ( http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/gpm/ ) be the right tool for the job? If this can be accomplished, the touch pad can be a keyboard as well as a mouse.
