Claim 2:
3. A system for interacting with a screen without touching it, the system comprising:
a computing device comprising at least:
one or more processors;
one or more memories; and
one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices;

a display screen comprising at least a partial video feed strip;
a source of radiating energy directed into a predefined area;
at least one directionally sensitive sensor that is configured to:
detect at least a portion of the radiating energy reflected off of an object disposed in the predefined area;
detect a range to the object disposed in the predefined area;
detect a motion of the object disposed in the predefined area;
transmit, to the one or more processors, information of a location from which the radiating energy is reflected; and
transmit visual feedback of the motion of the object to the partial video feed strip;

the one or more processors being configured to:
utilize the information of the location to calculate a position and motion of the object from which the radiating energy was reflected;
generate image information based on the calculated position and motion; and
transmit the image information to the display screen; and, the display screen being configured to display an image based on the image information received from the one or more processors;
wherein the radiating energy is laser energy configured to define a plane and cause a prominent dot to appear on the object where the object crosses the plane;
wherein the one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices contain program code executable by the one or more processors via the one or more memories to, based on information of the direction to the dot and the motion of the dot from at least two vantage points, calculate coordinates in the plane based on the direction and motion information and generate the image information based on the calculated coordinates.
