Abstract

A remote controller for controlling a presentation image is disclosed. The remote controller includes gyroscope to detect the movement and angular speed of the remote controller and generate corresponding signals for transmitting to a computer or projection system. The movement or angular speed signals are processed and applied to move a display cursor or highlight indicator in different areas of the display image according to the movements and angular speed and positions of the remote controller thus enhancing the control the image of the presentation without requiring the presenter to look away from the screen in search of many different push buttons to control the presentation images.

Claims

1. A method for controlling an image display device comprising:

moving a wireless remote controller without pressing down a control button on the wireless remote controller.
