Laser pointer interaction techniques using peripheral areas of screens

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.
