The Force

The Force is inside of you,

everyone, and all elements of nature.

if you focus, you can use The Force

to make inanimate objects move with

the simple wave of a hand.

Users:Gamers and Beyond

Without a doubt, fanatic gamers and Star Wars fans

will jump at the opportunity to use both the technologically advanced

light sabers as well as The Force.

But they are not alone.

The input device will have an approximate six degrees of freedom.

Such freedom will make the device applicable to many other fields

And many other people who would like added freedom for

their input devices.

Additionally, with the advent of The Force,

An input device that does not require touch,

There are even greater unforeseen applications.

Hardware

To create The Force,

We will have a table with two light sensors.

The light sensors will determine if a hand is reaching out

(A sign of using The Force)

And which direction the hand is moving.

Interface

The two input devices

(light saber and The Force)

Have a serial interface with the computers

that run the Display Wall
