1. An operating device, comprising:
- a narrow housing;
an acceleration sensor and/or a gyro sensor accommodated in or coupled to said housing;
an operation data transmitter which transmits operation data inclusive of at least acceleration data and/or angular velocity data respectively acquired from said acceleration sensor and/or said gyro sensor; and
an elastic member which is provided at one end or in proximity to the one end of said housing, whereinsaid elastic member has a spherical surface or substantially a spherical surface and a recess configure to insert a portion of said housing of the operating device into and hold said portion of said housing of the operating device, andsaid elastic member has a configuration enabling the operating device including the elastic member to stand up by itself on the spherical or the substantially spherical surface of the elastic member.

Abstract
An operating device has a narrow housing, and in this housing, an acceleration sensor and/or a gyro sensor are accommodated. Operation data inclusive of acceleration data and/or angular velocity data acquired from the acceleration sensor and/or the gyro sensor is transmitted by an operation data transmitter. Then, at a lower end of the housing, an elastic member having a spherical surface or substantially a spherical surface is provided.
