1. A system comprising:
a first device comprising a screen and at least one vector magnetic sensor; a second device comprising a magnet; the first device utilizes the at least one vector magnetic sensor which interfaces with the magnet in the second device to obtain vector data which corresponds to an absolute orientation and location of the second device within a coordinate system based on an absolute orientation and location of the first device; and the first device utilizes the vector data to map the location of the second device to a location on the screen.
