INPUT DEVICE FOR A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

An input device for a graphical user interface is provided. The device includes a finger sensor component for attachment to a finger of a user's hand, a touch sensitive elongate member for positioning along the finger, a thumb sensor component attached to a thumb of the user's hand, and a touch sensitive elongate member for positioning along the thumb. The finger and thumb sensors sense an intersection of contact between the two touch sensitive elongate members to define an input of a coordinate in a two-dimensional plane of a graphical user interface as defined by the lengths of the elongate members providing axis dimensions. The device also includes a pressure sensitive to sense a discrete input event by increased pressure at the intersection of contact of the two touch sensitive elongate members. The device communicates sensed inputs to a remote graphical user interface.
