Abstract
A three-dimensional computer input device includes at least three elastic members which elastically support a movable object in a frame. A two-dimensional position detector is connected to one end of each of the elastic members. As the movable object is moved and/or rotated relative to the frame, the detectors collectively detect the motion and transmit the current position and/or rotational information to a computer which graphically displays the motion on a screen of the computer.
