Abstract
A configuration for interacting with a display visible in a display window includes a recording unit for recording a pointer object in a vicinity of a display window. In addition, a computer unit is used to determine a position of the pointer object within a display of the display window, and the computer unit is connected to the recording unit. Part of the display can be statically mounted on the display window, in particular, printed thereon. A screen, in particular, a flat screen, can be used for generating at least part of the display. A projector can be used for projecting part of the display onto the display window. Part of the display window can be a semi-transparent or coated area. The recording unit can be behind the display window or above or below the display. A reflective surface for reflecting a beam path from and to the recording unit can be placed above or below the display.
