ABSTRACT:
A method is described that involves detecting one or more images appearing on a pixilated sensor of respective one or more fixed markers. The pixilated sensor is within a handheld device. For each of the images, determining its location on the sensor with the handheld device's electronic circuitry. Translating the images' determined locations into a pointed to location on a display, or proximate to said display, wherein the handheld device transmits information derived from the determining.
