Abstract:
A gimbal support that senses rotational displacement and provides haptic feedback in one, two or three dimensions of a manually-operated control member used to generate control inputs using a single hand while also limiting cross-coupling.

Claim (Index 13):
A controller for generating control inputs for at least four degrees of freedom, comprising:\n a first control member shaped for gripping by a user's hand, the first control member being adapted for displacement by the user in at least one degree of freedom relative to a predetermined frame of reference; a first sensor for measuring displacement of the first control member in each of at least two degrees of freedom; a second control member mounted on the first control member for displacement relative to the first control member in one or more degrees of freedom, the second control member being located on the first control member in a position that allows for its displacement in at least one of the second control member's two or more degrees of freedom by a thumb or index finger on the user's hand while gripping the first control member; a second sensor for measuring displacement of the second control member in each of its two or more degrees of freedom relative to the first control member; and a gimbal support for pivoting the first control member about each of two, intersecting axes of rotation, the gimbal comprising:\n a base for mounting the gimbal; \n a post to which a control member of a controller may be coupled; \n a first member connected with the base in a fixed relationship; \n a second member inside the first member and rotatable with respect to the first member around at least one of the two, intersecting axes of rotation, the post being coupled with the second member and constrained by the second member to pivot about each of the two, intersecting axes of rotation, the post having, for each of the two axes of rotation, a null position at a predetermined angular displacement about the axis of rotation.
