1. A pointing device for use with a laser device comprising a laser that emits a laser beam, the laser being positionable by a user, the pointing device comprising:

  • a control system; and

    a plant operatively coupled to the control system comprising;

    a plurality of motors configured to apply a torque to a mechanism that steers the laser;

    a plurality of angular encoders configured to send feedback information on the angular position of the mechanism to the control system;

    a position sensing device configured to send information regarding the position of the laser beam on a surface of the position detector to the control system;

    a master control unit operatively coupled to the control system and the position sensing device, the master control unit comprising;

    an encoder averager module configured to provide command position readings to the control system;

    a target positioner module configured to provide target position readings to the control system; and

    a motion profiler module configured to generate command position readings to the control system.
