Abstract
A gimbal support that senses rotational displacement and provides haptic feedback in one, two or three dimensions of a manually-operated control member used to generate control inputs using a single hand while also limiting cross-coupling.
Claims1
A controller for generating control inputs for at least four degrees of freedom, comprising:
- a first control member shaped for gripping by a user's hand, the first control member being adapted for displacement by the user in at least three degrees of freedom relative to a predetermined frame of reference;
- and
- a second control member mounted on the first control member for displacement relative to the first control member in one or more degrees of freedom, the second control member being located on the first control member in a position that allows for its displacement in at least one degree of freedom by a thumb or index finger on the user's hand while gripping the first control member.
