Description

Currently (or at least after #165 and #147) we just score virtual fitting candidates based on steering distance, and whether or not they are in some hard steering bounds.

We could instead define steering range in a more sophisticated way that accomodates for example transducers that have multiple sweet spots, or a sweet "line" instead of a spot, and so on.

Peter suggested that a sufficiently general approach may be a box region, with score being distance from the box, and with anything inside the box having maximally good score

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current virtual fitting candidate scoring and hard steering bounds, including the changes referenced in #165 and #147. Clarify how multiple sweet spots, a sweet line, and a box region should be represented and scored. Done means the issue's proposed steering-range model has agreed behavior for these cases and corresponding validation.
