A wearable control device has movement sensors (30, fig 4) for sensing movement of the wearer, a processor (36, fig 5) for receiving sensor outputs and converting them to output instructions for a device (e.g. a computer cursor, or a remote control vehicle) to be controlled by the control device, and a wireless transmitter (38, fig 5) for transmitting the output instructions to the device. One embodiment (figs 1-9) has an ear loop 14, speaker (24, fig 2), microphone 56, eye movement sensor 58, and recognises or forwards voice commands. Other embodiments can be incorporated inside a cap (figs 10-13), or clipped to a cap (figs 14 & 15) worn on a users head. The sensors may optically sense an eccentrically weighted slotted disc (fig 5), or use gyroscopes, accelerometers or tilt switches. |
