Abstract: Disclosed is an input device and method for interacting with motion pictures incorporating content-based haptic response. Content data relating to the motion picture is stored in a content data storage device while motion picture data is stored in a prerecorded image data storage device. A viewer input device is provided so that a viewer (end-user) can advance and reverse the frames on a display screen while substantially simultaneously, the content data is accessed and braking commands are sent to the viewer input device. The result is that the viewer is provided with haptic responses to the viewer's input through the viewer input device.

Content data relating to the motion picture is stored in a content data storage device while motion picture data is stored in a prerecorded image data storage device. A viewer input device is provided so that a viewer (end-user) can move forwards and backwards through the frames on a display screen while substantially simultaneously, the content data is accessed and braking commands are sent to the viewer input device. The result is that the viewer is provided with haptic responses to the viewer's input through the viewer input device.

Abstract: A multi-board computer system is described which comprises a main circuit board, a first circuit board having a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second circuit board having a fifth surface. The main circuit board further includes means for generating a first board select signal to select the first circuit board and a second board select signal to select the second board. The first circuit board further includes a first input pin and a second input pin on the third surface, and a first output pin on the fourth surface. The first input pin corresponds to the first output pin. The first input pin is coupled to receive the first board select signal, and the second input pin is coupled to receive the second board select signal. The first circuit board is selected when it receives the first board select signal at the first input pin. The second circuit board further includes a third input pin. The third input pin is coupled to the first output pin of the first circuit board.
