A method and system for processing data originating from, for example, a joystick type device using attitude sensing, are disclosed. The data is processed using a predefined instruction set, and the current and past states of various parameters, to enable image manipulation and other outputs which do not amount to a direct plotting of, say cartesian position data from an analog joystick. The inventive arrangement allows for virtual output states, temporal modulation of inputs, and enhanced functionality such as automatic power reduction, and autopilot functionality.

[ I claim:] [1.] A method of processing sensor data produced by a sensing system, said sensor data having a plurality of possible values for each parameter sensed, at least one of said parameters being related to position, attitude or movement of an object,characterised in that for at least one of said parameters related to position, attitude or movement of an object, said sensor data is processed according to a predetermined instruction set, said predetermined instruction set being also responsive to at least one of the group comprising previous values of said parameter, and current or previous values of other parameters, further responsive to pre-defined heuristic rules relating to the possible allowed values for a set of possible output data values relating to the desired output datasuch that where rapid changes occur in said sensor data interpolated values between the sensor data are produced as output data in addition to the processed output data correlating to the sensor data.
