Engineering and Industry Applications

The features already described in design, science and medical applications also have obvious industrial applications. In addition, consider that the Orb can be used as a telemanipulation device. Also, the Orb will offer tremendous advantages in piloting real-world vehicles or robots.

Piloting jet fighters involves working against strong G forces while maneuvering. A small orb, properly positioned, would allow pilots excellent control without the added fatigue of constantly fighting inertial forces with their arms.

Conventionally, flying vehicles must have a forward trajectory to stay aloft. The favored array of piloting controls (and game controllers) are built around that paradigm. In outer space, underwater, and in micro space (such as the environments where micro machines are designed), a forward trajectory is not required, but greater maneuverability is important. An orb would be a simple, ideal method to control such vehicles.
