Patent attributes
The purpose of this invention is to provide the complete set of spatial (translational) and axial (rotational) movement for a joystick due to the increasing demand of three-dimensional applications. Three degrees of freedom are provided for spatial movement which includes forward, backward, left, right, upward, and downward, plus an additional three degrees of freedom for axial movement which includes clockwise yaw, counterclockwise yaw, clockwise pitch, counterclockwise pitch, clockwise roll, and counterclockwise roll, for a total of six (6) degrees of freedom. The structure of the joystick that is required in order to demonstrate all six degrees of freedom is explained in the writing and sketches contained herein and is a testament to the novelty and unobviousness of this invention.
