Apparatus and method are disclosed for receiving human input by means of a pointing device, typically a strain gauge. Three dimensions of input are received from a resistor bridge by means of four contact points to the strain gauge. A sequence of excitation signals is applied to the bridge and a multiplexer is employed to permit a signal processor to sample sensor outputs. The apparatus processes the sampled outputs and determines the user inputs such as X and Y and Z values of the pointing device. |
