Claim 0:
1. 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 touch detection circuit with a sensing transducer secured within the control device and adapted to sense human grasping of the first and second atoms and transmit a sensed human grasping to the computing device;
wherein the computing device is operable to render a graphical depiction of a first control device simulated object in a virtual world upon receiving a transmission of the sensed human grasping of the first atom from the touch detection circuit; and
wherein the computing device is operable to render a graphical depiction of a second control device simulated object in the virtual world upon receiving a transmission of the sensed human grasping of the second atom from the touch detection circuit, wherein the second control device simulated object is different from the first control device simulated object.
