Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a user interface device that can capture motion in more than two degrees of freedom at a time. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention can include multiple sensors so that, in addition to xy motion, rotational motion can be captured.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a user input device;
- a first sensor input on the user input device to capture a first motion indication;
- a second sensor input on the user input device to capture a second motion indication;
- and
- a logic unit to determine a rotational motion indication based at least in part on a relative motion of the first motion indication and the second motion-indication.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- capturing a first motion indication from a first sensor input of a user input device;
- capturing a second motion indication from a second sensor input of the user input device;
- and
- determining a rotational motion indication based at least in part on a relative motion of the first motion indication and the second motion indication.
1 more element
A machine readable medium having stored thereon machine executable instructions that, when executed, implement a method comprising:
- capturing a first motion indication from a first sensor input of a user input device;
- capturing a second motion indication from a second sensor input of the user input device;
- and
- determining a rotational motion indication based at least in part on a relative motion of the first motion indication and the second motion indication.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a notebook computer;
