A wearable universal user interface device is provided for interacting with a variety of electronic apparatus. The interface device includes various sensors, such as a temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and a two-dimensional quadrant force sensor. The interface device also includes processing circuitry, a wireless transmitter, and an optional receiver. In the preferred embodiment, the interface device is in the form of a ring adapted to be worn on the finger of a user. The device is operated by the wearer's fingers and thumb. Preferably, the interface device includes an internally mounted pressure sensor and an externally mounted two-dimensional force sensor. The body of the ring itself serves as an omnidirectional loop antenna for transmission and reception of signals. Representative applications of the interface device include use as a wireless computer mouse, a remote controller for a television, stereo, VCR, or the like.
