Abstract
An input device for providing input to a computing device includes a hand-held controller movable across and above a work surface. The input device includes a mouse sensor positioned on or in the hand-held controller to sense two-dimensional (2D) translation data representing translational movement of the hand-held controller across the work surface, and a six degree of freedom (6DOF) sensor positioned on or in the hand-held controller to sense 6DOF data representing position and orientation of the hand-held controller above the work surface.
