1. A method comprising:
- with a wand input device that includes a camera, a gyroscope, a processor, and a storage device, downloading a pointer application;
with the processor, executing the pointer application;
with the pointer application, establishing a wireless communication session with a gestural system external to the wand input device;
with the pointer application, generating inertial data by using the gyroscope;
with the pointer application, sending at least the inertial data to the gestural system via the wireless communication session;
with the gestural system, receiving gesture data and the inertial data of the wand input device;
with the gestural system, generating a plurality of gesture signals for the wand input device by using the gesture data and the inertial data; and
with the gestural system, controlling at least one display device coupled to the gestural system, in response to at least one generated gesture signal generated by the gestural system.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control the display devices in response to the gesture signal.
