Not a bad idea.  I was thinking of using a few webcams, and getting a
computer to recognise certain movements of a long stick.  So you could
point at a light and it would turn on/off.  Wave it a particular way at
a TV and it would change channels, etc...

(Sort of like the Harry Potter films, but not quite)
