ABSTRACT:
The cybernetic interface of the present invention contemplates a remote hand-held, data input unit which communicates as an input device to a computer. The data input unit has the following broad features; an ergonomically correct handle, a symmetrical design so that the handle may be operated by either the right or left hand of the user, a chord keyboard on the handle that is operated by the four fingers of a hand of a user, a shift keyboard that is operated by the thumb of the same hand of the user, an integral means for generating pointer control information, a strap or band to support the unit in the hand, and a communications means to communicate the input from the data input unit to the computer either by wired or wireless means.
