ABSTRACT:
A pointing device includes a navigation unit that generates position signals that indicate where a pointer is directed. The pointing device includes a selection unit that generates selection signals that indicate that a selection is made. The pointing device includes a sensor unit that generates an active signal that indicates that the pointing device is being handled. A transmission unit is coupled to the navigation unit, selection unit, and sensor unit. The transmission unit transmits the position signals, selection signals, and active signal to a remote location.
