Abstract
A remote sensing system for touchscreen is disclosed. The system is comprised of a surface and a pointer. The surface detects the point of a force exerted on the surface and the three-dimensional direction of the force. The pointer remotely exerts a force on the surface. The point of exerting the force on the surface, the 3D direction of the pointer, and the location of the pointer relative to the surface are then determined. The present invention is utilized in various 3D gaming, entertainment, engineering, and medical applications.

A remote sensing system comprised of;
- a surface which is a transparent flat sheet that can be positioned on a computer display;
- a pointer that can be positioned at a distance from the surface to blow air in a three-dimensional direction towards a spot on the surface and exert a force on the spot;
- a sensing unit that detects the location of the spot, the three-dimensional direction, and the value of the force;
- and
- a microprocessor that receives the data of the location, the three-dimensional direction, and the value to determine the distance and provide the computer system with an immediate input representing the location, the three-dimensional direction and the distance.

- and
- a sensing unit that detects the location of the spot and provides the computer system with an immediate input representing the location.
A method for detecting the three-dimensional direction and the distance of a pointer relative to a surface, and the location on the surface that faces the three-dimensional direction, wherein the method comprising;
- detecting a first force perpendicular to the surface plane, and a second force parallel to the surface plane to generate a signal representing the values of the first force and the second force;
- aligning the pointer to a three-dimensional direction to blow air that exerts a force aligned with the three-dimensional direction on a location on the surface;
- and
- determining the three-dimensional direction and the distance of the pointer, and the location on the surface.
