  • Video game controller for use with an exercise apparatus
    Patent number: 5568928
    Abstract: A video game controller for use with an exercise apparatus. The controller includes a gross motion sensor which is activated by the palm of the user's hand when the user's wrist is rotated. In this way, a "steering" input can be sensed by the controller and forwarded to the video game. The controller further includes a pair of "action" switches which may be conveniently activated by the user's fingers. The controller may be formed as an integral part of the exercise apparatus handle or as a separate member designed for convenient attachment to the handle in a retrofit application.
