Abstract
Interface () for converting human control input gestures to telematic control signals. The interface includes a plurality of articulating arms () each mounted at a base end () to an interface base and coupled at an opposing end to a housing (). The articulating arms are operable to permit linear translational movement of the housing in three orthogonal directions. At least one sensor () of a first kind is provided for measuring the linear translational movement. A pivot member () is disposed in the housing and is arranged to pivot about a single pivot point. A grip () is provided and is attached to the pivot member so that a user upon grasping the grip can cause the pivot to rotate within the housing.
