I have been looking into what potentially could be a simple way for realising the idea of totems. Colour recognition. This would allow us the freedom to use any object, something which Sharon and I feel is important. We really don't want 'devices' hanging off people. They come loaded with connotations and pre-suppositions. This could be extended to use infrared as a means to combat lighting conditions.
