Calibrating Screen Coordinates of Tabletop Display Using a Shadow Cursor and Its Properties
Makio Ishihara, Yukio Ishihara · 2016
This manuscript discusses the use of a common computer mouse as pointing interface for tabletop displays. In the use of common computer mice for tabletop displays, there might be an angular distance between the screen coordinates and the mouse control coordinates. To align those coordinates, this manuscript introduces a screen coordinates calibration technique using a shadow cursor. A shadow cursor is the basic idea of manipulating a mouse cursor without any visual feedbacks. The shadow cursor plays an important role in obtaining the angular distance. It allows the user to perform a simple mouse manipulation so that screen coordinates calibration will be completed in less than a second.
