Abstract:
1. A method, comprising determining a first region and a second region of a workspace; receiving a signal indicating a movement of a manipulandum in the workspace; determining a first mapping associating the movement of the manipulandum with a first cursor movement within a graphical environment; determining a second mapping associating the movement of the manipulandum with a second cursor movement within the graphical environment; selecting one of the first mapping and the second mapping to be associated with the manipulandum crossing a boundary between the first region and the second region; displaying a cursor in the graphical environment based at least in part on the selection of one of the first mapping and the second mapping; and outputting a force effect to the manipulandum, the force effect associated with the movement of the manipulandum relative to a constrained range of motion of the manipulandum.
