ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method are provided for processing a user input that is used to drive cursor movement on a display in a vehicle that is operating in a turbulent environment. The apparatus includes an input device configured to receive the user input and generate an input device output signal. The apparatus also has a sensing device that is configured to detect motion of the vehicle and generate a motion signal representing the vehicle motion. A turbulence controller is provided for receiving the input device output signal and evaluating the motion signal. The turbulence controller alters the input device output signal based at least in part upon the evaluation of the motion signal such that a compensated output signal is created for driving the cursor movement on the display.
