Abstract: As computer based on-line education contents such as mathematics, languages, and sciences are being further developed, off-line based physical education contents need other type of skills or methods to be combined with on-line contents. One of the benefits of physical education system is that education contents can be shown and explained to all or to a group of students at the same time. Although this is a strong argument of the offline educational method, there is a lack to it. Taking the science hall as an example in which a number of various educational items such as chemical experiment, space and nature are displayed, it is very difficult or rather impossible to manipulate the object or change the experimental method of the exhibited items. From this point of view, input methods play an important role in operating contents. This paper suggests a new input method to control education programs displayed on large screens and located from a long distance. This non-touchable input method is implemented using general laser pointers with computer vision. AACE ED-MEIDA 2004
