Re:Ask HN: How does this work http://pointerpointer.com on Monday January 23, 2017 @01:25AM (#13460256)
Setup:

1. Define the dimensions for the view port (640 x 480, for example). This means, there are 640 times 480 (= 307,200) pixel locations in the viewport

2. Procure 640 times 480 (= 307,200) images of people pointing to each of the pixel locations

3. Save each image with the corresponding X,Y pixel location it points to in, say, a database

Run:

1. Get the (x,y) location of the mouse pointer on the view port

2. Query the database with the (x,y) co-ordinates and retrieve the corresponding image

3. Display image
