@joey_zozo I watched your video. The technique that you're describing is called Trilateration. In the 2D plane, you can find a point with three reference points. For a 3D area, you're going to need a fourth point, since there are circumstances where three spheres can still yield two potential points. That's the basics of how GPS works, except that they used hyperbolic parabaloids instead of spheres, I believe.
