Abstract
A motion translating device for use in tactile feedback system comprises a motion output device, operable to impart motion from the translator to a motion output device. A frame assembly is operable to translate motion from at least one actuator to the motion output device along at least a first axis and a second axis. The frame assembly has associated therewith a motion decoupling apparatus. The motion decoupling apparatus is operable to translate motion between an actuator and the frame assembly along one of the axes while at least partially decoupling motion between an actuator and the frame assembly along an other axis.
