This is somewhat related to the Japanese Stereo TV thread, in particular the
tracking of objects.  Does anyone know of an inexpensive signal for 
tracking with a video camera?  IE the object being shot has some kind of
target attached to it and the camera is on a moterized platform.  I seem
to have seen something of the sort (with two sensors on the end of boom
projecting from the base of the platform) but have not been able to track it
down again.

Application not: this is so people can take videotapes of themselves 
riding a horse and then self-critique their posture.  Is this virtual
worlds?
