15 August, 2013, Taipei, Taiwan Genius is pleased to announce the Cam Mouse an innovative mouse that becomes a camera and can instantly upload pictures to your computer. With the ability to quickly and seamlessly switch between mouse and camera functions, the Cam Mouse is a fast and convenient way for students to share notes while studying or for business professionals to effortlessly scan and transmit documents.

Quick Camera Access for Capturing Critical Moments

In a split second, the Cam Mouse transforms from a regular mouse to a camera that takes pictures and videos. The ability to have a camera ready when needed is great for situations when you have a teacher who is about to erase some valuable notes off the board, or if a presenter in a meeting switches slides too quickly.
