'Point it' is a laser pointing system to control electric devices. Initially I began this project as 'product inspired by super hero' project , a part of 'better body project'.

The point it laser ring is a ring which has a small built-in laser module inside. Using this ring you can turn on/off the point it devices just by pointing them remotely. The point it wall light has a target which consists of a detector and a indicator to be controlled by the ring. Furthermore you can apply the point it adapter to use existent appliances by this system
(movie).
The point it system has some advantages in comparison with current remote controllers.
individual control
If you use a normal remote controller to turn on the lights in your room, all lights might turn on at once. You can control each light individually using point it.
intuitive targeting
If you had bunch of remote controller (like me...), you have to chose appropriate one from them before using it... TV? VCR? DVD? or VCR2? Using point it, it's intuitive.
personal identification
It's possible for the point it system to identify users (in terms of technology at least , not implemented yet...) and enable smart applications according to the user.
At this moment, it's a very simple system just to do turn on/off stuff and has some disadvantages as well (danger for eyes, inability in bright-light places...) But I'm interested in the potential that could associate the invisible world of functionality to the visible world of objects. These days our surroundings are filled with invisible connections or controls like InfraRed, IEEE802.x, Bluetooth and so on. As it's getting more complicated, it gets necessary to make the associations visible and intuitive.
