nodes with spacial awarness
I find it very difficult to Google what I'm looking for. Are there solid nodes that can calculate their distance and movement compared to a group nodes in different locations without use of ir. For example if I was to put one on my head and one in each hand and have them all linked to a chip to gather relative distance from each other in 3 d space. Or at least the distance the hands are from the head and each hand from each other. I'm thinking magnetic possible.

Ultrasonic could work (but it gets interference and is poor w/out line of sight).
The Hydra seems like your best bet for a cheap(-ish; they're getting more expensive) system like that.
You could also attach strings to your hands (which are connected to spring-loaded rotary encoders) to measure distance like that. - geekmasterProtege
