Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2863069A1] The interface has a support unit (2) for supporting three pivoting shafts (3-5). Axes (A, B) of the two shafts (3, 4) are parallel to each other and perpendicular to an axis (C) of the third shaft (5). A handling unit (6) permits to swivel each shaft. A measuring unit (7), e.g. optical sensor, measures the movement of each shaft for controlling a real or virtual object, along three degrees of freedom.
