Input device

An control peripheral is an electronic device that a human uses to control a computer.

An example is an electromagnetic 3D tracking system, such as those made by Polhemus, such as the Viper 4.

For example, a computer mouse or a 3D pen.

In a visual HCI loop, it is complemented by a visual peripheral, basically a display.

Examples

• Positional tracker
• Rotational tracker
