ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a plurality of devices, the method including the steps of aiming a pointing device having a camera at an object representing a property of the device to be controlled and manipulating a control input on the pointing device to specify a degree of change for the property. The method further includes the steps of generating an image of a target area aimed at by the pointing device, interpreting the target area image to identify the chosen object, deducing the property of the device to be controlled based on the chosen object, and generating a control signal for the device to be controlled according to the degree of change for the deduced property.
