Interaction between a user and a computer (105) is encouraged by using an input device (135) including actuators (140) formed as three-dimensional representations of physical objects. Software running on the computer (105) receives an input signal generated by actuation of a particular actuator (140) by the user, and provides feedback to the user. The feedback is consistent with the particular physical object represented by the particular actuator (140). For example, if the particular actuator (140) represents a saw (215), the software causes the computer (105) to display an audio-visual sequence representative of movement of the saw (215).

L'invention concerne une interaction entre un utilisateur et un ordinateur (105) facilitée par un dispositif d'entrée (135) comprenant des actionneurs (140) sous forme de représentation tridimensionnelles d'objets physiques. Le logiciel tournant sur l'ordinateur (105) reçoit un signal d'entrée produit par l'utilisateur, par actionnement d'un actionneur particulier (140) et fournit une rétroaction à l'utilisateur. La rétroaction est fonction de l'objet physique particulier représenté par l'actionneur particulier (140). Par exemple, si l'actionneur particulier (140) représente une scie (215), le logiciel amène l'ordinateur (105) à afficher une séquence audiovisuelle représentative du mouvement de la scie (215).
