Abstract
A method and system is provided for creating a new video stream having an electronic pointer rendered therein. The disclosed system includes a receiver that continuously receives position data from a wireless pointing device; a calibration unit that calculates positions for the electronic pointer relative to a viewing device based on the position data received from the wireless pointing device; a processor that renders the electronic pointer in an original video feed received from a video source to create the new video stream as a single data stream, such that the electronic pointer is positioned at locations in the new video stream that correspond to the calculated positions for the electronic pointer; and a server that transmits the new video stream to the wireless pointing device to be rendered on a screen of the wireless pointing device.
