maybe not for you! but I've been using 3d software for about 4 years now and something like that seems like a great product depending on how easy it actually makes navigating in 3d space. The closest thing in the market now are probably the 3d mice by 3d connexion.
This is the Finger Mouse almost to a "T". The Finger Mouse was a product you would slip over your finger tip and point in open 3D space. A receiver clipped to the top of your notebook screen or monitor which enabled the user to make single and double button mouse clicks.
It was great for people who had fine motor control or insufficient motor control to use a traditional mouse, trackpad, or trackball type pointing device.
actually, this is fairly good. problems would probably occur if using many of them in the same room. think having 100 of them in a class room where you are fairly close to the others.
i think it could be done in a more elegant manor though. Love the idea though, might just do some work in it.
Would you care to share schematics and source code for the device?
your video is 1970ish and the signals can barely go through human body.. so how about using bluetooth signals to triangulate the positions? with bluetooth signal you can assing IDs to signals so that you can have multiple emitters aka vertexes.
adding buttons would greatly improve it. Use an RF transmission to transmit button presses. To use both the Ultrasonic and RF recievers, use the technology of a powered USB hub in the cable, maybe even start with a 4-port hub and take out two uf the ports, leaving the respective wires. Then, take two usb cables and solder their wires to the matching wires on the hub. Then, the other side of these cables could be used the same way, only with the devices you are connecting.

You should try to adapt this with technology for medical science.

Watching this video brought back good memories from playing the Lion King video game back in 95'.
