While reviewing several Position Trackers as Birds, FASTRAKs etc. I
was not really able to compare them to each other because I did not
completely understand the technical specifications.

Can anyone out there give me a hint in understanding the differences
between translational/angular range/resolution/accuracy?

Has anyone hooked a couple of Birds (Ascension Techn.) to a SG
Crimson, and what is the latency of the Bird? Since we plan on getting
a Bird and a Cyberglove (Virtual Technologies), we would like to know
if anyone already did it and knows any problems we are running into.

Thank you

Roberto
