<p>An input apparatus (10) adapted for use with electronic games and computers (14) in which the entire assembly is housed within a handheld housing. Within the housing unit are sensors (11) which monitor movement of the housing (10) and communicate these movements to the electronic game or computer (14). Movement of the housing is monitored in all directions and distance together with the angle of the housing unit. Communication with the remote computer/game (14) is accomplished using wires, radio frequency, or infra-red transmissions. The housing unit (10) is ideally structured to resemble an item normally associated with the game being played (i.e. a steering wheel for a race game, an airplane's joystick for an air-combat game).</p> |
