ABSTRACT
This paper presents new interaction techniques that use a laser pointer to directly manipulate applications displayed on a large screen. The techniques are based on goal crossing, and the key is that the goals of crossing are the four peripheral screen areas, which are extremely large. This makes it very easy for users to execute commands, and the crossing-based interaction enables users to execute fast and continuous commands.

Interacting at a distance: measuring the performance of laser pointers and other devices
CHI '02: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIt is difficult to interact with computer displays that are across the room. A popular approach is to use laser pointers tracked by a camera, but interaction techniques using laser pointers tend to be imprecise, error-prone, and slow. Although many ...
Comparing cursor orientations for mouse, pointer, and pen interaction
CHI '05: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMost graphical user interfaces provide visual cursors to facilitate interaction with input devices such as mice, pointers, and pens. These cursors often include directional cues that could influence the stimulus-response compatibility of user input. We ...
Precise selection techniques for multi-touch screens
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe size of human fingers and the lack of sensing precision can make precise touch screen interactions difficult. We present a set of five techniques, called Dual Finger Selections, which leverage the recent development of multi-touch sensitive displays ...
