Abstract
A method and system is provided that manipulates content displayed on a viewing device. The disclosed system includes a receiver that receives position data from a wireless pointing device and a processor that calculates a current position for the electronic pointer relative to the viewing device and renders the electronic pointer in a video feed received from a video source. Thereafter, the processor identifies a current location in the video feed that corresponds to a calculated current position for the electronic pointer, identifies content in the video feed positioned at the current location, dynamically manipulates additional content in response to a manipulation request from the wireless pointing device, and delivers the manipulated content to the viewing device for display thereon.
