Abstract
An input device configured to control a communicatively coupled remote processor is disclosed. The input device includes a band that is configured to at least partially encircle a digit of a hand. A connection member suspends a platform above an exterior surface of the band. The platform is configured to be manipulated by a second digit of the hand. A processor is configured to determine event data based on the manipulation of the platform. The event data is transmitted via a radio frequency (RF) transmitter in a control signal to the communicatively coupled remote processor.
