Multiple-layer pointing position determination on a medical display

Abstract

The invention relates to a medical display (10) comprising a position determination system for ascertaining the position of at least one pointer (1) which is pointing onto the display surface (7) of the display (10), wherein the position determination system uses mufti-layered pointing position determination, wherein position-determining layers (A, B) each ascertain a two-dimensional pointing intersection (5, 6), and wherein said layers (A, B) are spaced from each other and arranged one above the other in relation to the display surface. The invention also relates to a method of making inputs on a medical display (10) by ascertaining the position of at least one pointer (1) which is pointing onto the display surface (7) of the display (10), wherein the pointing position (8) on the display and/or the orientation of the pointer (1) are determined using muiti-layered pointing position determination, wherein position-determining layers (A, B) each ascertain a two-dimensional pointing intersection (5, 6), and wherein said layers (A, B) are arranged one above the other in relation to the display surface,
