Abstract
A multi-dimensional controller () controls the multiple parameters of a lighting system (). A track-ball () that provides three axes of rotation (-), for example, is used to control each of three lighting parameters, such as chrominance, luminance, and saturation. In like manner, intensity, direction, and diffusion control may be controlled by a device with three degrees of freedom/control. Force-feedback () is optionally provided to indicate divergence from established presets () or recommended operating conditions. Switches () and other control elements are also provided to store or recall preset parameters (), override scheduled lighting settings, and so on.
