Abstract

A system comprising at least one light source in a movable hand-held device, at least one light detector that detects light from said light source, and a control unit that receives data from the at least one light detector. The control unit determines the position of the hand-held device in at least two-dimensions from the data from the at least one light detector and translates the position to control a feature on a display.
