摘要 |
A pointing device (10, 50, 70, 90) is provided for use on an interactive surface (21). The pointing device (10, 50, 70, 90) comprises a grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) and a shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92). The grip portion can be manipulated into different positions by a user. The shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92) has a contact surface for making contact with the interactive surface (21). The grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) is coupled to the shapeable part (12, 52, 72, 92) in such a way that the manipulation of the grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91) causes a footprint (30, 60, 80, 100) of the contact surface on the interactive surface (21) to take a shape corresponding to the respective different positions of the grip portion (11, 51, 71, 91). |

1. A pointing device for use on an interactive surface, the pointing device comprising:
a grip portion for allowing manipulation into different positions, relative to the interactive surface, by a user, and a shapeable part with a non rotationally symmetric contact surface contacting the interactive surface, the grip portion being coupled to the shapeable part wherein manipulation of the grip portion into one of the different positions causes a footprint of the contact surface on the interactive surface to take a different shape corresponding to the respective position of the grip portion. |
