Abstract
The invention provides a user interaction system () and a method of controlling a lighting system. The user interaction system () comprises a display (), a means for receiving a location indication (), a location identification means () and an overlay image creator (). The display () displays a subarea image and an overlay image. The subarea image is an image of a specific subarea of the environment. The location identification means () detects which specific location in the environment is indicated by the location indication. The overlay image creator () generates the overlay image. The overlay image comprises information related to a lighting effect which is obtainable by the lighting system at the specific location. The obtainable effect is an effect of at least two controllable light sources of the lighting system. The information which is related to the obtainable lighting effect is based on a lighting system model () which represents effects that are obtainable in the environment by controllable light sources of the lighting system.
