In plain words

virtualjoystick.js is a JavaScript library that emulates a joystick on touch screens. Launched in 2011, it allows developers to add virtual joystick controls to web-based applications and games on mobile devices. The library is designed for anyone building interactive experiences that need touch-based input alternatives to traditional keyboard or gamepad controls.
