Abstract: A movement translator configured to be worn on a wrist for transmitting movement information relative to an external surface. The movement translator may include an enclosure. The enclosure may include an arcuate wrist supportive concave surface having a shallow wrist-rest and an enclosure side. An adjustable strap may cooperate with the enclosure side to form a wrist band adjacent to the shallow wrist-rest. A movement detector is within the enclosure for operatively coupling the external surface. In addition, a wireless transmitter is coupled to the movement detector for transmitting an encoded signal, wherein the encoded signal encodes a magnitude of a movement estimated between the movement detector and the external surface during a period of time.
