Abstract

A system and method for recognizing an aimed point on a plane is provided. Images captured by one or more image sensor are processed for obtaining data indicative of location of at least one pointing element in the viewing space and data indicative of at least one predefined user's body part in the viewing space; using the obtained data, an aimed point on the plane is identified. In case it is determined that a predefined condition is met a predefined command and/or message is executed.
