[sci.electronics] Seeking 3-d digitizers

puh@grumpy.sarnoff.com (Patrick U. Hsieh x3145) (02/28/90)

I am looking for sensors which can digitize 3-space locations at the
rate of about 100 samples/sec., with accuracy of about 1 inch, and 
with range up to 30 feet.  Line of sight is not guaranteed, so I don't
think there's much hope for optical or ultrasonic methods.  I also need
to have about 24 of these going simultaneously.  The closest things I've
seen are the Polhemus sensors, but they don't fit all of my criteria.

Any help would be much appreciated.  Response by e-mail preferred.
