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 mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding both of changes in position of the human interface device and actuations of the actuatable portions into a magnetic field emanating from the human interface device. Sensing elements integrated into a sensing system may be used to sense the emanating magnetic field to obtain user input from the human interface device.
