Abstract
A method for remote controlling an object with a remote-control unit is provided. At least a first surface S, S, Sis defined in a first coordinate system. At least a first function of the object is associated to the first surface S, S, S. A second coordinate system is defined at the position of the remote-control unit. A static pointing vectoris defined in the second coordinate system. It is then determined whether the pointing vector points towards the first surface S, S, S. If so, the object is enabled to selectively activate the first operation upon receipt of an activation command.
