1. A computer-implemented process for transforming a computer screen into a touch screen using a camera, comprising using a computer to perform the following process actions:

  • inputting images of the computer screen;

    computing a projective mapping between the images and the screen which is capable of determining the screen coordinates of a point in the images;

    locating a tip of an indicator in said images, said indicator being superimposed on the screen in the image; and

    determining the position of the tip of the indicator on the screen from the images of the screen using said projective mapping.
