1. A method of getting input commands for a program running on a computing system, the method comprising:

  • monitoring a field of view in front of an image capturing device;

    locating the 2-dimensional planar position of a patterned color light source, within the field of view of an image capturing device;

    calculating the 3-dimensional orientation of the patterned color light source;

    calculating the relative distance between the image capturing device and the patterned color light source;

    in response to the 2-dimensional planar position, the relative 3-dimensional position and the orientation or roll of the patterned color light source, triggering a corresponding first input command to a program running on the computing system;

    receiving an electronic signal from an electronic signal transmitter;

    in response to the signal received, triggering a corresponding second input command to the program running on the computing system.
