More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a data input device for providing a plurality of input signals responsive to user actions, comprising a resilient body and one or more sensors within the resilient body, which typically has a shape defining one or more modes of deformation, operable to provide the input signals responsive to deformation of the resilient body, by the actions of a user by virtue of the forces transmitted through the resilient body to the one or more sensors. By providing a deformable resilient body, typically defining one or more modes of deformation, only a subset of the plurality of input signals respond significantly to the deformation (typically to degree of deformation), a user lacking fine motor skills is able to better control a plurality of input signals.
