[Dailydave] Fwd: my idea of the day

[Robert Graham]

I would guess that handhelds are not omnidirectional, but directional.
Therefore, I'd mount the device on a gimble, measure the signal coming out of
it from every possible direction and find out which way to point it.

Your body interacts with the signal. I'd guess that you can exploit this, such
as blocking part of the signal with your body.
