    Abstract: An input device (10), to provide input to a computer system, includes a body (12) defining multiple fluid channels (26). A movable element (28) is located within each of the fluid channels (26) so as to be movable and responsive to a fluid flow through the respective fluid channel (26). A light sensor (38) is furthermore associated with each movable element (28), such that movement of the movable element (28) varies an intensity of light to which the respective light sensor (28) is exposed. The input device (10) generates an input signal in accordance with the intensity of the light to which at least one light sensor (38) of the input device (10) is exposed.

    Abstract translation: 向计算机系统提供输入的输入装置(10)包括限定多个流体通道(26)的主体(12)。 可移动元件(28)位于每个流体通道(26)内,以便可移动并响应通过相应流体通道(26)的流体流动。 此外,光传感器(38)与每个可移动元件(28)相关联,使得可移动元件(28)的移动改变相应的光传感器(28)暴露于的光的强度。 输入装置(10)根据输入装置(10)的至少一个光传感器(38)所暴露的光的强度产生输入信号。
