Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: a plurality of sensors configured to detect a target at a distance from the plurality of sensors and provide a signal in response thereto, each sensor of the plurality of sensors comprising an array of photosensors; a memory operable to store one or more modules; and a processor operable to execute the one or more modules to determine a position of the target relative to a point of reference based on the signal, the signal corresponding to light intensity incident upon each photosensor of the array of photosensors, wherein the point of reference is defined with respect to plurality of sensors, wherein a volume of space over the plurality of sensors is divided into at least two regions based upon the point of reference, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors is synchronized with respective sensors of the plurality of sensors, wherein each synchronized sensor is configured to receive data from another synchronized sensor, the data representing the light intensity incident upon the respective synchronized sensor.
