Virtual mouse

A system for interacting with a screen without touching it, the system comprising:

• a computing device comprising at least:
• one or more processors;
• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices;
• a display screen comprising at least a partial video feed strip located at a bottom of the display screen;
• a source of radiating energy directed into a predefined area;
• at least one directionally sensitive sensor that is configured to:
• detect at least a portion of the radiating energy reflected off of an object disposed in the predefined area;
• detect a range to the object disposed in the predefined area;
• detect a motion of the object disposed in the predefined area using pixel tracking;
• transmit, to the one or more processors, information of a location from which the radiating energy is reflected;
• and
• transmit visual feedback of the motion of the object to the partial video feed strip wherein the feed strip has no more than three video feedback zones such that each video feedback zone indicates the presence of an object in a preselected section of the predefined area, each video feedback zone further indicating the motion of the object in the preselected section of the predefined area;
• the one or more processors being configured to:
• utilize the information of the location to calculate a position and motion of the object from which the radiating energy was reflected;
• generate image information based on the calculated position and motion;
• and
• transmit the image information to the display screen;
• and
• the display screen being configured to display an image based on the image information received from the one or more processors.
