Distant freehand pointing and clicking on very large, high resolution displays (2005, background): “Proposed solutions to distant point and click interaction include using 3D input devices such as a flying mouse or hand-held isometric input [12, 32], and laser pointer-style devices [18, 20, 21].”
Drag-and-Pop and Drag-and-Pick: Techniques for Accessing Remote Screen Content on Touch- and Pen-Operated Systems (2003, methodology): “Myers et al. (2002) used laser pointers to acquire targets on a Smartboard , but found them to be slower than touch input.”
1 € filter: a simple speed-based low-pass filter for noisy input in interactive systems (2012, methodology): “For example, Myers et al. [4] used one for laser pointers and reduced hand tremor jitter from ± 8 pixels to between ± 2 and ± 4 pixels using a 0.5s window ( n = 10 ).”
The smart phone: a ubiquitous input device (2006, methodology): “The use of mobile phones as input devices for their environment is still very new, and there have been only a handful of thorough evaluations of the different techniques [4, 11, 16].”
