Methods devices and systems for creating control signals

An interface comprising:

• a hand operated input device with a plurality of activation points associated with a corresponding plurality of digits belonging to a single hand, whereby, during use, each of said plurality of digits is associated with at least one of said plurality of activation points, each of the plurality of activation points being positioned to enable activation by a single corresponding digit such that activation involves a change in the proximity of the corresponding digit to the activation point, the plurality of activation points being further configured such that each activation point is mounted on one or more structures that distance the activation points from the surface of the hand thereby reducing the range of motion required of the corresponding digit to enact activation, and reducing the need for counterforce from another portion of the hand to enable activation;
• at least one sensor for measuring a current rotational motion, translational motion, position, or orientation value of the input device;
• and
• an output component interconnected to the activation points and said sensor for outputting activation points data and at least one rotational motion, translational motion, position, or orientation value of the input device.
