1. An arrangement for generating an input command, comprisinga first and second essentially annular input elements which are spatially separated from one another and are arranged for attachment to one hand each, wherein the first and second essentially annular input elements each comprise touch-sensitive regions whereby respective input touch patterns can be determined when the touch-sensitive regions of the first and second essentially annular input elements are touched, the first essentially annular input element configured to collect raw data of a first input touch pattern and the second essentially annular input element configured to collect raw data of a second input touch pattern;

  • anda processing unit for generating an input command from the respective input touch patterns as a function of input touch patterns which interact in a predetermined way, wherein the processing unit is external to the first and second essentially annular input elements;

    wherein the second essentially annular input element is configured with an evaluation unit for evaluating instances of touching and for determining the respective input touch patterns;

    wherein raw data of the first input touch pattern collected at the first essentially annular input element is transmitted to the second essentially annular input element;

    wherein at least one of the raw data of the first input touch pattern and the raw data of the second input touch pattern is evaluated by the evaluation unit on the second essentially annular input element and is made available as the first input touch pattern or the second input touch pattern respectively by an interface of the second essentially annular input element; and

    further wherein the processing unit receives at least one of the first input touch pattern and the second input touch pattern from the second essentially annular input element and generates the input command.
