PERIPHERAL DEVICE FOR VISUAL AND/OR TACTILE FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. A peripheral device for facilitating human interaction with a computing device, comprising:
- a device body having a cavity configured to receive one or more hands of a user of the computing device;
a plurality of sensors disposed inside the cavity to collect position, posture or movement data of the one or more hands as the user uses the one or more hands to interact with the computing device; and
at least a selected one of a display screen disposed on an external surface of the body or a variable texture surface disposed inside the cavity to provide at least a corresponding selected one of visual or tactile feedback to the user, based at least in part on the position, posture or movement data of the one or more hands.

11. A method for facilitating human interaction with a computing, device, comprising:
-
collecting position, posture or movement data of one or more hands of a user of a computing device while the user moving or posturing the one or more hands within a cavity of a peripheral device to interact with the computing device; and providing to the user, at least a selected one of visual feedback, via a display screen of the peripheral device, or tactile feedback, via a variable texture surface of the peripheral device, wherein the providing is based at least in part on the position, posture or movement data of the one or more hands. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
