20. A method of inputting data to a remote device using two input devices, each device substantially fixedly supported relative to a portion of a respective hand of a user, the method comprising:
-
generating movement data in at least one of the devices representing a position or movement of one device with respect to the other device;
comparing the generated movement data with stored data representative of relative movements of the devices, the stored data corresponding to respective characters to be input to the remote device, or of respective functions for controlling the remote device; and
inputting data to the remote device on the basis of the comparison of the generated data to the stored data. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
