Claim 12:
13. A system, comprising:
a control device comprising a central hub having a plurality of axes, a first atomic element extending axially outwardly of the central hub on a first of the plurality of axes, and a second atomic element extending axially outwardly of the central hub on the first of the plurality of axes or a second of the plurality of axes, wherein the first atomic element comprises a first atom at an axially outer end of the first atomic element, wherein the second atomic element comprises a second atom at an axially outer end of the second atomic element, wherein the first atom has a first shape and is adapted to be held by a human hand in a first manual grasp modality, and wherein the second atom has a second shape that is different from the first shape and is adapted to be held by a human hand in a second manual grasp modality;
a computing device communicatively coupled to the control device;
a memory communicatively coupled to the computing device, wherein the memory stores a library comprising a plurality of control device simulated objects and a plurality of non-control device simulated objects;
a touch detection circuit with a sensing transducer secured within the control device and adapted to sense human grasping of the first atom and transmit a sensed human grasping to the computing device;
wherein the computing device is operable to, upon receiving a transmission of the sensed human grasping of the first atom from the touch detection circuit, determine a first control device simulated object or a first non-control device simulated object from the library based on the transmission and render a graphical depiction of the determined first control device simulated object or the determined first non-control device simulated object in a virtual world.
