The idea was to create a program that could recognize this, I do not think anything has really come to fruition on this however.
Sure, that's great in theory... but think about it. Draw a point on a piece of paper and then draw a circle evenly distributed around that dot. Any 2 points on opposite sides of that circle would be equidistant from that center point. So although it may sound feasible to calculate the two points you're touching, in reality, the two points could be anywhere in a circle around that center point.
