Controlling mouse cursor with a remote control

This is a small project I started working on. You will be able to control the mouse cursor, launch applications, etc with many/most IR remote controls, assuming you have an IR receiver connected to your computer.

Update:
I never really finished it so I haven't made a better video. Maybe some time in the future?

@kameshguna Hey there! I tried to dig up the code again some time ago but I don't think I ever found the project files again. I got that remove with a TV tuner card from Pinnacle. The IR receiver was connected to a COM port. Maybe USB IR receivers will work fine too (if the make a virtual COM port). Then, I just wrote the software with C#/.NET. It appears like the class you need to look at is SerialPort. Unfortunately, I do not remember the baud rate/parity/handshake settings. :(

*remote (not remove)

*if they make

If I recall correctly, the data received with my remote should be around 3 bytes in length. Some remotes encrypts the codes to make it harder.

How can I control my mouse? What program I have to use? I have MA-620 Infrared adapter and VCR remote control

I'm not sure what you can use. I used my a program I made myself and I never really finished it and I'm not really planning on releasing it to the public at the moment.

It is controlled by a remote because it is going to strait for someone doing by the mouse.
