System for determining the rotational orientation of a sensing device
First Claim
1. A system comprising a sensing device and a surface having coded data disposed thereon, the system being arranged for determining at least two dimensions of the rotational orientation of the sensing device relative to the surface, wherein:
- the coded data is indicative, when sensed by the sensing device, of the at least two dimensions of the rotational orientation of the sensing device; and
the sensing device includes;
an orientation sensor configured to generate, when positioned or moved relative to the surface, using at least some of the coded data, orientation data indicative of the at least two dimensions of the orientation of the sensing device relative to the surface; and
a transmitter for transmitting the orientation data to a computer system.

Abstract
A system for generating orientation data when a sensing device is 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; orientation sensing means configured to generate the orientation data using at least some of the coded data; and communications means configured to communicate the orientation data to a computer system.
