Mobile Phone as Mouse

Kento Miyaoku, a research engineer of NTT and a visiting researcher at the University of Columbia, developed a technology called C-Blink, which makes mobile phone screen blink with different colors to control external devices (such as a large public display integrated with an image sensor). With this technology, people can for example use mobile phones as a mouse to move pointers on a public display.

... Another usage scenario shown in the video is: a user takes a photo using a camera phone, adds some text to it, and transmits it to a colocated large display by showing a blinking phone screen to the display.
