As a follow-up question to the question of being able to track head
rotations, in a situation where I wanted to track a person's location
in a room what would I need?  I am thinking of a way to attach two
sensors to the person so that a 3D directional vector may be
obtained.  The problem is I don't know anything about the technology
that will allow this to be possible.  Any ideas?

I know at Chapil Hill they have a  Virtual Room but I'd like to know
how it's done.

Thanx in advance.
