Claim 11:
12. 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; and
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 and second atoms from the touch detection circuit.
