Controller for game i.e. video game, that is used to simulate driving of vehicle, has magnetic sensor that is integrated in rotation to activator, and permanent magnet that is integrated in rotation to fixed part

摘要

The controller (1) has an activator (2) that is movable in rotation with respect to a fixed part (3) to simulate control of rotation of a steering column of a simulated vehicle. A detecting unit detects rotational displacement of the activator, where the detecting unit has a magnetoresistive effect or Hall effect detection assembly that comprises a permanent magnet e.g. crown magnet, and a magnetic sensor. The sensor is integrated in rotation to the activator, and the permanent magnet is integrated in rotation to the fixed part. The activator is chosen from a hand wheel, handlebar or ship steering wheel.
