To make effectively suppressible the generation of inertia force even when the range of inputting operation is wide and the inputting operation is large, by providing an attitude detecting means or the like equipped with an attitude detecting part to freely move to a position inside the space of a fixed range while holding the other part of a human body or one organ of the body.
The attitude detecting means or the like is provided with an attitude detecting part 51 to freely move to the position inside the space while holding the other part of a human hand (such as the back of the hand, for example). Concerning such a manipulator 10, a pedestal for placing an operation input means 2 and an attitude detecting means 5 is moved corresponding to the reference position of an attitude detecting part 51 by a move energizing mechanism 4. Thus, even when the range of operation to the operation input means 2 and the attitude detecting means 5 is expanded, the operation input means 2 itself can follow up the operating direction so that the inertia force of an entire device to occur at the time of operation can be effectively reduced. By reducing inertia force, operability at a manipulation part 21 can be improved.
