Abstract
By providing a pointer assembly which is easily mounted to a computer terminal or screen and is movable from a first position to any second position on the terminal or screen, with the position of the pointer being precisely measured and transmitted to the computer, a unique, easily employed signal generating and position controlling system is realized. By incorporating a switch in the pointer assembly or in association with the pointer assembly, any individual is capable of employing the system of this invention quickly, easily, and accurately, without requiring training or expertise. In the preferred embodiment, the pointer assembly is movable both arcuately and longitudinally, relative to a fixed initial position, with any movement from the initial position being precisely measured to determine the desired, user-selected position.
