A computer or video game device for generating hand manipulated data. The device
consists of one or more sensors that are mounted on the human hand. The sensors
are conveniently located for easy access and manipulation by opposing fingers on
the same hand that the sensors are mounted on. This arrangement overcomes the limitations
of a tabletop computer mouse by not requiring a planar surface, and by not requiring
the user to hold onto the device. Additionally the sensors are located in such
a way that they do not impede standard office procedures such as using a computer
keyboard, writing with a pen, holding a phone, etcetera. The device can also be
quickly and easily attached or removed by the user. Various embodiments of the
invention include "wired", "wireless", multiple finger, universal right or left-hand,
universal finger or thumb application, and universal side or top mounted sensors.
Existing technologies and manufacturing techniques are utilized to minimize cost.
Uses include personal computer, video game, and industrial applications.
