Webcam Based Laser Tracking for Human-Computer Interaction

I'm using a laser pointer to move the mouse cursor on a computer. The software works by finding the brightest pixel in its field of view using a webcam.

The webcam is also used for turning the projected area of a projector into an interactive screen.

I am working on a project for one of my classes and I think that this could be very useful. Is there any way that I could get the source code?
