Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• With Mac OS X, Apple has decided that spatial orientation is no longer up to the task of helping users manage the complexity of the modern computer.
• Spatial orientation is maintained by the nervous system and its sensory inputs: vision and audition provide information about external objects, proprioception conveys the configuration of the body and its parts, and vestibular inputs register head orientation and motion.
• Such a biaxial spatial orientation is created by optical pumping with elliptically polarized light, and measured by the observation of coherent population trapping in a weak external magnetic field.
• The reason for this is that while maintaining spatial orientation is essential to all navigation tasks, orientation without position information is not useful.
• Description of the most widely used methods of studying mechanisms of spatial orientation is also included.
