ABSTRACT:
A computer input device or wand that may be held and controlled by an infant, a toddler, or an adult who cannot use a conventional input device. An elongated handle is provided for gripping and manipulating the input device. The handle may conform to the size of a baby's hand to allow the input device to be securely held by a baby. The input device or wand includes an omnidirectionally responsive transducer for actuating an electrical control signal in response to each unidirectional sweep of the wand in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the handle, thereby allowing the user to control a computer display by shaking the wand in the same manner as a baby might shake a rattle.
