Systems and methods for implementing a pointer-guided tracking system and a pointer-guided mechanical movable device control system

A mechanical implement movement system, comprising:

• a base component that is configured to impart movement to an attached implement;
• a movement control device that is configured to generate movement commands to the base component for the movement of the attached implement;
• a pointing device configured to allow a user to designate a point of focus to which the movement of the attached implement is directed;
• and
• at least one sensor device in communication with the movement control device;
• the at least one sensor device being configured to detect the point of focus designated by the pointing device as an input to the movement control device,
• the movement control device
• determining an initial position of the attached implement, a final position of the attached implement proximate to the point of focus, and a scheme of movement for the attached implement from the initial position to the final position, and
• generating the movement commands to the base component according to the determined scheme of movement of the attached implement.
