Issues understanding a sentence of a scientific article
Hi everyone!
I was reading an article and I had issues understanding this sentence:
The disadvantages include intrusion and fixed relative relations with the object, which could cause the device to be easily disconnected.
Can anyone tell me what the author means by " fixed relative relation with the object"?
Thank you in advance,
Nolwenn

A fixed relative relation indicates that their positions are always the same in relation to each other. (i.e. A must be to the right of B, C must be above D, E must be diagonal from F, and so on.)
For example, on a Wii game console, the controllers can only be detected if they are in front of the motion bar. The distance between the game controller and the motion bar is fixed relative to each other. If you place the controller behind the motion bar, it won't be detected. If the controller is too far, it won't be detected.
The fixed relative relation is such that the controller's position always has to be in front of the motion bar or it doesn't work.

The context was a critical presentation of technologies managing falls. But I think Torusan (below) has answered me well. Thank you a lot!
