Patent ID: 7345670

Claim:
A multiple axes controller, comprising: at least twelve sensors sensing inputs to the controller from a human user, the twelve sensors providing outputs at least in part controlling three-dimensional imagery shown by an electronic display; a tactile feedback motor mounted to a hand held housing of the controller, said feedback motor providing vibration to the human user to simulate a physical occurrence related to the imagery; a single first button positioned on the controller is depressible by a finger of the human user to actuate a first sensor of said sensors and a second sensor of said sensors; said first sensor is a proportional sensor, said second sensor is a switch capable of indicating an On state when actuated; a single second button positioned on the controller is depressible by a finger of the human user to actuate a third sensor of said sensors and a fourth sensor of said sensors; said third sensor is a proportional sensor, said fourth sensor is a switch capable of indicating an On state when actuated; a two-axes member supported on said controller, said two-axes member positioned to activate four sensors, the four sensors comprising: a fifth sensor and a sixth sensor for sensing movement of said member about the first axis; a seventh sensor and an eighth sensor for sensing movement of said member about the second axis.
