Laser Pointer Updated

[Elittdogg]

import viz	
viz.go()

Height = viz.input('Height?')
print "Participant's height is", Height, "inches."

Meters = (Height * (1.0/39.37)) 
print "Participant's height is", Meters, "meters."

RedDot = viz.add(viz.TEXT3D, '.', viz.SCREEN)
RedDot.translate(0.5, 0.57, 0)
RedDot.alignment(viz.TEXT_CENTER_CENTER)
RedDot.color(1,0,0)	# Red
#RedDot.scale(.5, .5, .5)

Ok...so here's my "deal." The RedDotis supposed to mimic the laser pointer (which is going to be positioned on top of a person's head. So I was trying to come up with a way to input how tall the person is, convert it to meters (if necessary), and then use that height to position the RedDot. So instead of

RedDot.translate(0.5, 0.57, 0)

I want: RedDot.translate(0.5, Meters, 0)

That way I can customize the height of the laser pointer in Vizard to each individual's personal height.
