A sensor node senses the user actions with a pointing device, such as mouse.
There are two different pointing device types: 2-D pointing devices and 3-D pointing devices.
  • Mouse, trackball, trackpad and joystick belong to the first class.
  • A data glove and a CAVE wand belong to the second class.
