Watchcasting
Freehand 3D pointing with an off-the-shelf smartwatch: the watch's orientation steers a ray and arm movement controls depth.
How it works
Rotating the forearm aims the ray, and moving the arm forwards or back shifts a cursor along it, giving depth control from a single wrist-worn sensor.
