Thank you for the answers! Many years ago, in university, I made a magnetic compass without using ready-made chips. This topic brings back memories for me. This year, I’ll definitely experiment in my free time, as a hobby, trying to bend the magnetic field. :-)
And yes, we mechanically rotate a large magnet, creating a unique magnetic field that allows us to track all 6DOF with a single sensor via our proprietary algorithm. No triangulation is needed.
