Description

It would be great to be able to get the x, y coordinates on screen of where the PSmove is being aimed at, for example when the move is being used as a gun.
If this needs to be callibrated perhaps an easy way to set the callibration could be added too, such as aiming at the 4 corners of the screen, running a function for each etc.
This would hugely simplify creating apps where you are interacting to the screen with the tracker.
