- 6. Incremental (Relative) Devices Devices such as the data tablet return a position directly to the operating system Devices such as the mouse, trackball, and joy stick return incremental inputs (or velocities) to the operating system Must integrate these inputs to obtain an absolute position Rotation of cylinders in mouse Roll of trackball Difficult to obtain absolute position Can get variable sensitivity

- 10. Mouse 10 A pointing device that fits comfortably under the palm of your hand The most widely used pointing device on desktop Computers The mouse controls the movement of the pointer, also called the mouse pointer, on the screen
- 11. Mechanical Mouse A rubber or metal ball is on its underside When the ball rolls in a certain direction, electronic circuits in the mouse translate the movement of the mouse into signals the computer understands A mouse pad provides better traction and protects the ballfrom a build up of dust and dirt
- 12. Optical Mouse Uses devices that emit & sense light to detect the mouse’s movement Some use optical sensors; others use laser More precise than a mechanical mouse & does not require cleaning Slightly more expensive 12
- 13. Track Ball & Space ball
- 14. Trackball and Space ball Trackball It is a pointing device similar to a mouse. mainly used in notebook or laptop computer, instead of a mouse. This is a ball which is half inserted, and by changing fingers on the ball, the pointer can be moved. Spaceball similar to trackball, but can move in six directions where trackball can move in two directions only. movement is recorded by the strain gauge. Strain gauge is applied with pressure. It can be pushed and pulled in various directions. The ball has a diameter around 7.5 cm. The ball is mounted in the base using rollers. One-third of the ball is an inside box, the rest is outside.
- 15. Joysticks pointing device used to change cursor position on a monitor screen. Joystick is a stick having a spherical ball as its both lower and upper ends lower spherical ball moves in a socket. The joystick can be changed in all four directions. function of a joystick is similar to that of the mouse. mainly used in Computer Aided Designing (CAD) and playing computer games.
- 16. Data Glove input device essentially a glove worn on the hand that contains various electronic sensors that monitor the hand's movements and transform them into a form of input applications such as virtual reality and robotics. Some datagloves enable and to apply fine-motion control. tactile sensing, allowing the user to seemingly feel a virtual object

- 19. Touch Panels touch panels allow displayed objects or screen positions to be selected with the touch of a finger. A typical application of touch panels is for the selection of processing options that are represented with graphical icons.
- 20. Light Pens light sensitive pen-like input device used to select objects directly on the computer screen . used for making drawing, graphics and for menu selection. Figures and drawings can be made by moving the pen on computer screen.
- 21. Digitizers digitizer is an operator input device contains a large, smooth board (the appearance is similar to the mechanical drawing board) & an electronic tracking device, which can be changed over the surface to follow existing lines. The electronic tracking device contains a switch for the user to record the desire x & y coordinate positions. The coordinates can be entered into the computer memory or stored or an off-line storage medium such as magnetic tape. One type of digitizer is the graphics tablet
