13. Computing apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; a display for presenting information from the processor to a user; and a user input device comprising a foot mounted position and orientation sensor, wherein translation of the foot mounted position and orientation sensor causes translation of a selection device across the display and rotation of the foot mounted position and orientation sensor causes a predetermined operation to be carried out by the processor in respect of information indicated by the selection device, and wherein the foot mounted position and orientation sensor comprises a light source and a sensor adapted to measure position from light from the light source reflected by a surface adjacent to the foot mounted position sensor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
