Orientation sensing device with memory
First Claim
1. A sensing device for generating three-dimensional orientation data when positioned or moved relative to a surface, the orientation data being indicative of an orientation of the sensing device relative to the surface, the surface having coded data disposed upon it, the coded data being indicative, when sensed by the sensing device, of the orientation, the sensing device including:
- a housing;
an orientation sensor configured to generate the orientation data using at least some of the coded data, the orientation data being indicative of the pitch, yaw and roll of the sensing device relative to the surface;
a communicator configured to communicate the orientation data to a computer system; and
a memory adapted to store a sensing device identifier which is adapted to distinguish the sensing device from other sensing devices of the same type.
