Claim 12:
13. A method of computing a sliding velocity limit boundary for a spatial controller comprising:
receiving, at a computing device electronically coupled to the spatial controller configured to remotely operate a vehicle, information describing a first position boundary of the spatial controller corresponding to a maximum velocity of the vehicle or a part thereof;
receiving information describing a current position of the spatial controller;
using the information describing the current position of the spatial controller to determine that the current position of the spatial controller is outside the first position boundary;
identifying a displacement vector corresponding to a difference between the current position of the spatial controller and the first position boundary;
adding the displacement vector to the first position boundary to generate a second position boundary such that the current position of the spatial controller is at the second position boundary;
updating the first position boundary as the second position boundary; and
computing a target velocity of the vehicle or the part thereof, based on a difference between the current position of the spatial controller and a center of the first position boundary such that the vehicle or the part thereof to move in accordance with the target velocity.
