iOrb - Unifying Command and 3D Input for Mobile Augmented Reality

The iOrb is a simple user interface device for single handed operation. It uses an inertial sensor to estimate rotation and a pressure operated switch to select items. It can be used for command input, such as selecting and pressing a button in a list of options, or choosing an item in a list. Or it can be used for 2D orientation input to rotate an object, move a slider or similar. (2005)

Nice! Add some screen-relative positioning and wireless, and you will be able to sell this thing.
