The operating principle of the mobile phone, in this case, resembles managing the play-station Nintendo by means of a wireless controller Wii: all you need is to simply move your hand with the phone in front of the monitor of PC in certain directions. Connection between the mobile device and the computer is implemented through Bluetooth wireless connection.
