I was wondering if anyone who is using Ascension's flock of Bird ever
encountered this problem: I placed two trackers with a known distance
between them, and I computed the distance measured via the interface
we have with the HMD. Then I swivel the system of 90 deg. and the
distance became half its value, just like if the Magnetic field was
compressed, or shrinked in the direction.

Anyone ever had this problem ? Is it our setup ? Is is me ?
