Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande conçu pour commander de manière interactive des images de type images visuelles, notamment des images vidéo, dans le cadre du multimédia interactif et notamment des jeux vidéo et similaires. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, un dispositif de commande est conçu pour générer une pluralité de faisceaux électromagnétiques, l'utilisateur ayant la possibilité d'interrompre de manière sélective un ou plusieurs desdits faisceaux électromagnétiques pour générer, commander ou manipuler une image visuelle rendue sur un dispositif d'affichage. L'utilisateur peut avantageusement commander l'image sans avoir à appuyer physiquement sur des boutons pour commander un ou plusieurs sujets visuels.
