[sci.virtual-worlds] HELP YAW PITCH ROLL Inputdevice

schaub4@urz.unibas.ch (05/19/91)

Help please! 
I am trying to a build a prototype for my concept of an alternative 3D input 
device. Could anyone help me finding the cheapest way of getting info 
about the three angular positions (yaw, pitch, roll) of an object around 60 
times each second? It seems that I could use the Isotrak-system, but it 
might be to costly for my productidea and some kind of overkill, since I 
would not need the X Y Z coordinates. 
Please excuse my untechnical way of putting my question; I am an 
industrial designer and quite a way of my professional background in this 
field. A reply to 
schaub4@urz.unibas.ch
would make me very happy. If there should be enough info coming in, I will 
post a summary.
Thank you
