Abstract
An optical observation system includes a contactless pointer unit having a real component including a position labeling device and a virtual component including a virtual tip which is at least intermittently spaced apart from the real component. The system includes a unit for capturing at least one portion of an object and a unit for capturing a position and an alignment of the real component and a unit configured to display the captured portion of the object. The system includes a control unit for ascertaining a position of the virtual tip based on the captured position and alignment of the real component and for arranging for the image output unit to display, with a mark, the position of the virtual tip in the displayed captured portion of the object. An operating method, a pointer device suitable as a real component and a computer program product are provided.
