Contactless interactive systems appear to have an interesting context of application in interactive art, however practical example often involve low interactivity; we think this is due to the fact that this interaction paradigm is still poorly understood, and tools for interaction design are still missing. We present a simple interaction technique (Point-and-Move) that allows to point-and-click without instrument through distance; through this example, we show that the presented concept and framework has nice and flexible properties. Finally, we illustrate the approach on the two artistic installation we participated to, and also provide uncontrolled user experience feedback on the presented interaction technique, from these installations.
