Alternatively, user manipulates hand controller in side mode, which gives greater latitude for motion but requires more muscular effort. Controller provides six degrees of freedom and reflects, back to user, scaled versions of forces experienced by manipulator. Manipulator designed to condense work space into user's natural work volume. Operated by both right-handed and left-handed users. Does not interfere with user's natural movements or obstruct line of sight. Controller compact and portable.
