Input device for use with a display system

A system comprising:

• a projection device configured to project an image;
• a graphical user interface including one or more graphical elements displayed in the image, the graphical user interface configured to accept one or more inputs having a minimum duration between receiving an initiation signal and a termination signal;
• an input device being movable in free space and configured to point at one of the one or more graphical elements and configured to provide the initiation signal to the graphical user interface, the initiation signal triggering a response from the graphical user interface corresponding to a selection of a specific one of the one or more graphical elements at which the input device is pointed, wherein any movement of the input device after receipt of the initiation signal is ignored by the system when the termination signal is received within a predetermined amount of time;
• and
• a cursor displayed as part of the graphical user interface and configured to indicate where the input device is pointed within the graphical user interface, the cursor being movable with the input device, wherein the cursor is configured to:
• (1) stay at a location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated, and (2) move back to the location at which the input device was pointed when the double-click entry was initiated after a preselected amount of time long enough to register the double-click entry.

A projection system comprising:

• a projection device configured to project an image as an interactive display;
• an input device operatively coupled for communication with the projection device;
• a computing device application module configured to run a computer-enabled application and to receive input;
• a processor enabled input verification module configured to-detect when a user is attempting to register a double-click input with the interactive device before sending a double-click input to the computing device application module;
• and
• the input verification module further configured to send the double-click input to the computing device as having occurred at a first location on the display when a temporal duration between a first click and a second click is below a predetermined threshold,
• wherein the interactive display input is configured to display a cursor on the display indicative of a location at which the input device is pointed, and the input verification module is further configured to cause the cursor to move to a specific location on the display at which the input device was pointed when the double-click input was initiated regardless of where the input device was pointed when the double-click input was completed.
