Abstract
A device and method is provided for sensory feedback control during touchless navigation of a user interface. The navigation system permits touchless user interface control via a wand pointing device and a receiver device. The wand is used to identify points of interest in three-dimensional space via a wand tip. The wand tip does not contain any electronics or sensors and permits precise access measurements. The wand can also be affixed to objects to track their movement and orientation within proximity of the receiver. In one arrangement, the sensory feedback provides a visual indication of the wand's location and orientation through the user interface. Other embodiments are disclosed.
