30. An interactive input system comprising:
-
an illumination assembly configured to illuminate a light curtain over a surface; an imaging module configured to capture image frames of the surface; and processing structure configured to process captured image frames to determine the location of one or more pointers brought into proximity with said surface and breaking the plane of said light curtain, said processing structure, during calibration, further being configured to perform the method of; determining a position of the light curtain; calculating a difference between the determined position of the light curtain and a desired position of the light curtain; and adjusting the position of the illumination assembly based on the calculated difference.
