- As you may have notice PG has to be pointing towards the sensors to
- work. If you place the sensors on your head. You will only be able to
- move your head parallel to the sensors. e.g. you will not be able
- to look around.
- This probly can be overcome by reprograming the MCU. But if you
- have to do that you might as well design the head tracking from scratch.
