Abstract
A interface comprising a hand operated input device with a series of activation points activated by the digits (fingers and/or thumb) of a user; a sensor component measuring a current motion, orientation, and/or position of the input device and a output component interconnected to the activation points and the sensor component for outputting in a series the currently active activation points and the current motion, orientation, and/or position of the input device.
Claims20
An interface comprising:
- a hand operated input device with a plurality of activation points associated with a corresponding plurality of digits belonging to a user's 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 located on one or more structures that distance each activation point from the surface of the hand and that also position each activation point to measure actuation by a single corresponding digit such that actuation involves a change in the proximity of said digit to the activation point;
- 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 point data and at least one rotational motion, translational motion, position, or orientation value of the input device.
