An input apparatus or keypad ( ) for computers and networks is provided. The keypad ( ) has a palm size housing ( ) having an extended opening ( ) in its top surface ( ). An input or key assembly ( ) mounted in the opening ( ) has a number of keys ( ) arrayed in a 6 by 4 matrix, for example, to which operator can access to input information. The housing ( ) includes a processor for processing information input using keys into a corresponding signal, and a transmitter for transmitting the resultant signal to a receiver of the computer or network by wireless. In particular, the keypad ( ) is designed ergonomically so that the operator can learn an input operation with ease and time-consuming and push keys so quickly.

A system for use in skill acquisition, transfers and verification for performer has a simulated object, i.e., simulated head, to which the performer would perform clinical procedure. An image pickup, e.g., CCD camera, picks up an image of a point indicator provided on the performer or an instrument. Using the picked-up image, an image signal corresponding to the picked-up image is made. An image processor processes the image signal and generates data for showing a movement or tracks of the point indicator on a two-dimensional coordinate system. Thereby, a display shows tracks of the point indicator by using coordinate data.
