  • This offers more knowledge about the controllability of the lighting at the desired position. For example, if the pointer is moved from a position in which a spotlight may be positioned to a position in which this is not the case, the pointing device may change the emitted pointer.

  • Such possibilities to vary either taken separately or in combination, offer a useful toolbox for indicating what kind of controllability is available at the desired position. For example, if no control at all is possible, a bright, red, blinking cross could be emitted. If brightness control is possible, the pointer could be changed to a green dot, e.g. with a diameter that is an indication for the relative brightness variation that is achievable.

  • a simple system with direct coupling between pointer and position detector is the result. Note that in such a case, the view of the position detector cannot be impeded, since it follows basically the same path as the pointer itself.
  • the position detector could also be partly built into the control unit. What matters is that the parts mentioned in the systems according to the invention should be constructed as functions of the total system, not necessarily as separate physical items, although this may be the case in some embodiments.

Simple graphical processing would suffice to determine the position of the pointer, and details of such a system are deemed sufficiently known to the skilled person. Also, in the case where the system is used for pointing at light sources to check controllability, this single camera system may suffice. For example, if a visually readable and processable code is provided on the controllable light source(s), this code may be read or viewed by the camera, and processed accordingly. A well-known example of such a code is the barcode.
  • Each controllable light source may be provided with such a barcode, that could contain information on color, brightness and variations thereof, and so on.
  • Pointing at the barcode suffices to retrieve all required information, which may be visualized by the pointer. This simplifies e.g. the task of a person responsible for lighting of a scene or area, because he no longer has to memorize all lamps and their functionalities.
  • the above one-camera system is an example of a position detector that could be built into the pointing device. Furthermore, it is then possible to build in only the camera that transmits its image to some image processor. Another example of a one-camera position detector is one in which objects in the camera image are recognized.
  • the position of the pointer may also be inferred.
  • Yet another example is based on dead-reckoning, starting from the absolute position of the pointing device, the direction in which it emits the beam of light, and the time-of- flight of the beam.
