Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entrée pour une installation informatique, notamment une souris d'ordinateur (M1), qui peut être déplacé sur un plan de déplacement défini par un premier et un deuxième axe de direction. Le dispositif d'entrée (M1) selon l'invention comprend un dispositif de détection de rotation (GS) servant à détecter une rotation du dispositif d'entrée autour d'un troisième axe (Z) et à émettre un signal de rotation basé sur cette rotation. Le dispositif d'entrée selon l'invention comprend également un dispositif d'évaluation de rotation (AE) servant à recevoir le signal de rotation et à générer, en fonction de ce signal de rotation, un signal de commande pour l'installation informatique. Il est ainsi possible de percevoir à l'aide du dispositif d'entrée selon l'invention des mouvements tridimensionnels et de les transmettre à l'installation informatique, ayant notamment la forme d'un ordinateur. Cela rend, par exemple, possible le déplacement d'un objet sur l'affichage de l'ordinateur, ainsi qu'une rotation éventuelle de l'objet.
