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!?!?
