Abstract
An input device including first sensor that measures first sensor data indicative of at least one of: pressure applied to input device, presence or absence of given object in proximity of input device, distance of given object from input device, position and orientation of input device; and processor coupled to first sensor. Processor processes first sensor data to determine state of input device, said state indicating whether or not input device is lying on given object; obtains, from user device, context information pertaining to visual scene being presented to user; and controls input device to operate in first mode of operation or second mode of operation based on said state and context information. Input device acts as computer mouse during first mode of operation and as six-degrees-of-freedom controller during second mode of operation.
