Abstract
Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be repositioned thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed by a sensing system and used to identify user input provided by the user. Sensing elements integrated into the sensing system may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device, the user input then being interpreted to provide the computer implemented services.
