Abstract

A user input apparatus and method may measure, using a first sensor, surface input information that is applied to a surface of a user input apparatus, may measure, using a second sensor, orientation information that is input based on a physical quantity associated with a pose or a rotary motion of the user input apparatus, and may generate a content control signal by combining the surface input information and the orientation information.
