- I've seen the PG Hires Mode (tilt, forward, back, etc.), but I'm still
- not satisfied. The Glove obviously uses some kind of triangulation to
- calculate the location (I'm assuming that the 'L' bar is the reciever,
- judging by the clicks coming from the glove). Shouldn't, then, you
- be able to calculate the EXACT location of the Glove, within a few inches,
- if you sent the data from the three recievers (along with the timing ticks from
- the glove itself) to the computer (rather than to the microprocessor in the
- glove)??? I would think that we could let the PC do all the math for us;
- this way, we should be able to get a true position sensor, rather than just
- a displacement sensor out of the Glove.
-
- Am I even on the right track!?!?
