1. A remotely operable laser pointer instruction system comprising in combination:
- a laser pointer with an adjustable pointing beam located at a first location;
a worker adjacent to the laser pointer at the first location;
a target at the first location, the pointing beam being adjustable directed to selected portions of the target at the first location, the target being adjacent to the worker; and
a control means for operating the laser pointer, the control means located at a second location remote from the first location, an operator-instructor at the second location for physically controlling the control means, the target being not adjacent to the operator-instructor, wherein the operator-instructor at the second location controls and adjusts the pointing beam being directed at the target at the first location with a computer.

Abstract
A remote laser pointer system that directs a worker through a situation by a skilled person(servor) controlling the laser pointer from a remotely location. The system can operate over any telephone line or wireless communication that is capable of full duplex communications. The servor can use a video camera and microphone to hear and see the remote location and can control the position of the pointed laser beam with a movable mouse and computer. The worker can wear the camera, microphone and laser pointer on a portable headset.

10. A remotely operable laser pointer instruction system comprising in combination:
-
a laser pointer with an adjustable pointing beam located at a first location; a worker adjacent to the laser pointer at the first location; a target at the first location, the pointing beam being adjustably directed to selected portions of the target at the first location, the target being adjacent to the worker; a control means for operating the laser pointer, the control means located at a second location remote from the first location, an operator-instructor at the second location for physically controlling the control means, the target being not adjacent to the operator-instructor, wherein the operator-instructor at the second location controls and adjusts the pointing beam being directed at the target at the first location with a first computer; a second computer at the second location having a moveable mouse so that the operator-instructor at the second location viewing a screen of the laser pointer at the first location controls and adjusts the pointing beam with the moveable mouse; means for allowing the operator-instructor to adjust x and y axes coordinates of the laser pointer; and a camera at the first location being aimed at the target for allowing the operator-instructor to visually identify the selected portions of the target with the laser pointer as an instruction aid to the worker at the first location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19)
