Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a likelihood an object in a real-world scene is the object being pointed at by a pointing device, comprising the steps of: (A) pointing an electronic pointing device at an object of interest in the real-world scene; (B) generating with the pointing device a pointing device geodetic position and pointing direction, and transmitting the pointing device geodetic position and pointing direction, and standard deviations relating to generating the pointing device geodetic position and pointing direction to a system server; (C) mapping a three-dimensional representation of a real-world scene containing the objects in the real-world scene, including the object of interest, and transmitting the three-dimensional representation to the system server; (D) a system server performing the Substeps of,
