nouse
 n.— «He has introduced a device called the Nouse, which is a play on the word ‘Mouse’ and performs the same function. The concept is based on tracking the tip of the nose with a webcam, thus making it possible to operate the computer with the nose as you would a mouse or a joystick.» —“Nosing in on the Competition” by Vivian Salama Business Today (Cairo, Egypt) Nov., 2004.
