if you change this sentence from:
"but when Popular Science dubs your twist on the critter we couldn't do without an Invention of the Year, you've accomplished something"

to:
"but when Popular Science dubs your twist on the critter-we-couldn't-do-without an Invention of the Year, you've"

it makes it much easier to read and more gramatically correct. I honestly had trouble with it the several times I read it.]]>May 22nd 2007 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/I had a similar concept about 3 years ago, mine worked with an infrared led on a ring and 4 infrared enabled cams integrated into a keyboard. I think its much easyer with the visual solution, than the audio one, because it's simple triangulation not affected by enviromental jammers. The price would be about the same, because those cams got realy cheap (see the one in the wiimote). This giant 5 sensor array is Way to big I think (one reason I integrated it into the keyboard) and why the hell does it have to stand next to the display *cries* I developed mine as a way to turn a simple lcd into a touchscreen, and I think that increases usefulnes by 200%.

Have a nice day, JP]]>May 22nd 2007 5:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/
As such I don't think I would enjoy having to hold my arm off the ground for extended periods of time (I am thinking 3+ hours here)

Still, this is a pretty interesting idea.]]>May 22nd 2007 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/
No, seriously :-p He's OK though.]]>May 22nd 2007 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/May 22nd 2007 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wpi-students-create-wireless-3d-ring-mouse/Nice.
