Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to providing feedback about the pose and/or orientation of an input device relative to a surface, such as feedback about a change in an orientation of the input device relative to the surface due to rotational movement of the input device about a first axis associated with the input device, while the pose of the input device relative to the surface is maintained during the change in orientation of the input device relative to the surface. Some embodiments are directed to providing feedback about whether the orientation of the selected drawing implement for an input device is permitted to change or not in response to changes in the orientation of the input device. Some embodiments are directed to providing feedback corresponding to a setting or resetting of an orientation of the selected drawing implement for the input device in response to detection of an event.
