Inertial measurement unit : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit :

> An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the orientation of the body, using a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers. When the magnetometer is included, IMUs are referred to as IMMUs.[1]

Are there a limited set of possible-path-corresponding diffraction patterns that NIRS (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) could sense and process to make e.g. a magic pencil with pressure sensitivity, too?

> Quantum navigation maps such signal sources such that inexpensive sensors can achieve something like inertial navigation FWIU?

From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=36249897 :

> Can low-cost lasers and Rdyberg atoms e.g. Rydberg Technology solve for [space-based] matter-wave interferometry? [...] Does a fishing lure bobber on the water produce gravitational waves as part of the n-body gravitational wave fluid field, and how separable are the source wave components with e.g. Quantum Fourier Transform/or and other methods?

Because the digitizer

Wouldn't such a capability also be useful for surgical AR/AI, robotics, and training?
