Claim:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a magnetic circuit including first and second magnets disposed opposite each other and magnetized in opposite directions to each other, to produce a magnetic field substantially between the first and second magnets; and a frame that includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device, and is disposed substantially between the first and second magnets of the magnetic circuit, wherein the MEMS device includes a first driving coil disposed substantially around the MEMS device, and is at least partially rotatable around a first axis of the frame, in response to application of a first electromagnetic force produced by interaction of a first electric current to pass through the first driving coil, with the magnetic field, wherein the frame further includes a second driving coil disposed within the frame, and is at least partially rotatable around a second axis of the apparatus that is substantially orthogonal to the first axis, in response to application of a second electromagnetic force produced by interaction of a second electric current to pass through the second driving coil, with the magnetic field.
