  • an input device configured to receive the user input and generate an input device output signal;

    a sensing device configured to detect motion of the vehicle and generate a motion signal representing said motion of the vehicle; and

    a turbulence controller receiving said input device output signal and evaluating said motion signal, said turbulence controller altering said input device output signal based at least in part upon said evaluation of said motion signal such that a compensated output signal is created for driving the cursor movement on the display.
