A motion-sensing input device for control of a microsurgical system is disclosed, comprising a housing including a plurality of walls defining a cavity, a plurality of motion-sensing screens, and a processor. Each motion sensing screen of the plurality of motion-sensing screens is mounted within the cavity of the housing, and each motion-sensing screen is configured to detect positional data of an object within the cavity relative to the housing. The processor is operable to analyze the positional data and transmit corresponding command signals to the microsurgical system.
