Systems With Deformable Controllers

Abstract

A controller may be provided for use with electronic equipment. The electronic equipment may include a head-mounted device that uses user input to control displayed images, a computer stylus or other accessory, a handheld device such as a remote control, and/or other electronic devices. The controller may have a nub-shaped housing. The housing may be formed from a flexible housing wall that has an elongated dome shape extending along an axis. User finger input may be provided to the controller during operation. Sensor circuitry in the flexible housing may be used in detecting user finger input such as multitouch touch input, force input in which a user's finger presses against the flexible housing, and deformation input in which the flexible housing is bent away from the axis or otherwise deformed by a user's finger.
