Assuming that a person doesn't dramatically move their head when looking at various monitors, does SmartNav have multimonitor support?

I recently upgraded my office to a 24" LCD with a pair of 19" LCD's to each side:

(See the setup at: http://www.qwe.com/images/homeoffice5.jpg )

You'll notice that my monitors are very close and essentially form a 3648x1200 (60")screen.

I'm interested in a mouse replacement product, have a set of glasses just for computer work, and I think that the SmartNav system may be just the ticket. I skimmed the FAQ, read the online Manual, viewed the videos, and did searches on the forum (and web) regarding "Multimonitor" support before asking. Having come up mostly empty (Other than the fact that multi-monitor games will work), I decided to ask.

I can't think of a reason why an input device wouldn't respect multi-monitor support, though I can think of a few environmental reasons (such as the tendency to fully turn to face a 2nd or 3rd monitor) that might discourage such usage.

If anyone has any experience, insight, or ideas... let me know. I'm thinking that the "SmartNav EG" would make a nice Christmas Present suggestion to give my wife.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your interest in the SmartNAV and for posting to our forums.

Yes, the SmartNAV will work with multi monitor setups such as yours. We have even had people successfully use the SmartNAV with three monitors.

The range of motion should not be an issue, though you may wish to try alternative camera postions to to make sure the SmartNAV is physically positioned to have the best field of view.
