I am designing a six degree of freedom joystick with no connected hardware.
That means you can hold it in you and twist, pull, and push it in any
direction you want.  You could turn circles and hold it behind you back.

How much would this be worth to a game player?
How much would you pay for one?
Why?  I need to convince some people to assist me in developing and bringing
this to market.
Thanks for your time.
