ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for controlling a display device. In one embodiment, a start position is registered which defines the first position and orientation of a remote controller relative to the position of the display device. When movement of the remote controller is detected, a second position and orientation of the remote controller is determined. A point on the display device is determined where a mathematical line extending from the front edge of the remote controller along its longitudinal axis intersects the front plane of the display device. Finally, a message is sent for causing a cursor displayed on the display device to be moved to the point where the mathematical line intersects the front plane of the display device.
