1. An image controller comprising:

  • a first element operable on three mutually perpendicular axes, said first element structured to activateat least one capacitance sensing sensor, the capacitance sensing sensor controlling an object within imagery on a display;

    a second element movable in at least two directions, said second element structured to activatesensors controlling the object within the imagery on the display independently of the first element;

    an emitter of electromagnetic radiation capable of providing wireless communication between the controller andan image generation device;

    a plurality of independent finger depressible buttons, each button associated witha button sensor;

    a plurality of the sensors are connected toa circuit board, at least some of the sensors are mounted toa first side of the circuit board, and at least some of the sensors are mounted toa reverse side of the circuit board, the first side and the reverse side of the circuit board are opposite sides of the circuit board; and
