1. A system for use in controlling two positional coordinates of a feature on a computer-generated image, the system comprising:

  • a first enclosure including;

    a processing unit;

    computer program storage coupled to said processing unit;

    an image generation element coupled to said processing unit and for coupling to an image display device and for providing the computer-generated image;

    a first power source for providing power to devices located in said first enclosure; and

    a first enclosure communication element coupled to said processing unit;

    a second enclosure separate from said first enclosure, said second enclosure including;

    a level sensing device providing a level sensor output signal;

    at least one of a connection to an external second power source and an internal third power source for providing power to devices located in said second enclosure; and

    a second enclosure communication element coupled to said level sensing device and for coupling to said first enclosure communication element, said second enclosure communication element for providing first data dependent on said level sensor output signal; and

    a third enclosure designed to be handheld and operated by a user in mid-air, said third enclosure separate from said first enclosure and said second enclosure, said third enclosure including;

    a light source configured for use in collecting data dependent on position of said third enclosure;

    a user input device configured to allow a user to provide directional inputs and for providing a user output signal;

    at least one of a connection to an external fourth power source and an internal fifth power source for providing power to devices located in said third enclosure; and

    a third enclosure communication element coupled to said user input device and for coupling to said first enclosure communication element, said third enclosure communication element for providing second data dependent on said user output signal.
