Hello!

I am working on surgical applications of position trackers. Especially
for applications of telepresence, it would be necessary to use
magnetic trackers. I have the systems by Polhemus and Ascension. Both
of these sensors rely on coils (well, fluxgate sensors are also some
kind of coils). I would like to know wether there are magnetic
position trackers with Hall probes as sensors (possibly for small
worrking areas).

Thanks in advance
Wolfgang
