Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a. a first set of computer memory locations storing a first set of data, wherein the first set of data is operable to configure a processor to derive a control signal for a second device from an interaction signal indicative of a user's control of a first device, wherein the first device has a first characteristic control type, and wherein the second device has a second characteristic control type; b. a second set of computer memory locations storing a second set of data, wherein the second set of data is operable to configure the processor to derive an output signal encoding output for the first device from a feedback signal indicative of the second device's output when operated according to the control signal, wherein the first device has a first characteristic output type, and wherein the second device has a second characteristic output type; c. an output means for providing feedback to the user in response to the output signal, wherein the output means provides feedback to the user in the form of the first characteristic output type; and d. an isolation element, the isolation element comprising a physical barrier preventing the second device's output from being perceived by the user, such that the only feedback provided to the user is provided via the output means.
