 Light gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A light gun is a pointing device for computers and a control device for arcade and video games.
The light gun, and its descendant, the light pen, are now rarely used as computer pointing devices, because of the popularity of the mouse and changes in monitor display technology -- light guns can only work with standard CRT monitors.
The user of the light gun notices little or nothing, because the period in which the screen is blank is usually only a fraction of a second.

 claribole.net - ZVTM Documentation - Multiple Pointing Devices mini-HOWTO
There are however cases where the use of two (or more) pointing devices can be appropriate, as demonstrated by evaluations and systems that feature bi-manual interaction.
The use of a second pointing device, such as a trackball in the non-dominant hand, can for instance be useful to control camera altitude (zoom level) in a ZUI, or the position of a floating palette grouping click-through tools.
Non-dominant hand pointing devices (as opposed to the main pointing device, supposed to be operated by the user's dominant hand) are handled through net.claribole.zvtm.mpd.MPDManager and your own instantiation of interface net.claribole.zvtm.mpd.MPDAppEventHandler.

User movements of the pointing device can cause changes to the cursor that shows the current position of the pointing device.
The event is triggered at the point at which the user agent has fully parsed the element and its descendants and is ready to act appropriately upon that element, such as being ready to render the element to the target device.
On systems with a different pointer device, the pointing device often emulates the behavior of the mouse by providing a mechanism for equivalent user actions, such as a button to press which is equivalent to a mouse click.
