A proprietary tracking technology from
Microsoft that lets you use a mouse on
virtually any surface, excluding clear glass and mirrored surfaces.
According to Microsoft, in a BlueTrack technology mouse, the sensor, the
light and the component configuration are optimized for the best
possible surface image for a variety of conditions. BlueTrack Technology
provides the mouse ASIC and the computer with exceptionally accurate and
detailed information for advanced tracking on almost any surface.
A BlueTrack technology mouse uses a Microsoft-designed complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip with advanced algorithms and pixel
architecture for more precise tracking. It is Microsoft's fourth-generation
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) using CMOS technology.
Proprietary high-angle imaging optics generate more exact surface images -
even of shiny surfaces such as granite and marble - instead of blurry,
out-of-focus images, as can be produced by many of the leading laser mice. And
blue light helps create high-resolution, high-contrast images for better
navigation. The wider beam enables illumination of a larger surface area and
allows more light to return to the sensor. This helps for tracking on irregular
surfaces such as carpet, where a smaller beam could get lost between the
individual fibers.
BlueTrack Technology debuted on two Microsoft products in November 2008: the
Explorer Mouse and the Explorer Mini Mouse.
