Controlling Movements of Pointing Devices According to Movements of Objects

A method of controlling a pointing device according to the movements of an object of interest in a monitored field, comprising:

• attaching to the object, an RFID (Radio Frequency identification Device) which, when triggered, transmits the identification of the object;
• detecting the transmitted identification at a plurality of different locations sufficient to define the instantaneous space location of the object in the monitored field;
• inputting the detected identifications into an RTLP (Real-Time Location Processor);
• deriving from the RTLP a tracking signal defining the real-time movements of the object within the monitored field;
• and feeding the tracking signal to the pointing device to cause it to track the movements of said object in a real-time manner;
• characterized in that another signal, in addition to said tracking signal, is also derived from said RTLP defining another instantaneous condition of the object, and is also fed to the pointing device to control another parameter of the pointing device in a real-time manner.
