Como resultado, la esfera de colores sobre los controles funcionan en conjunto con la cámara para mejorar poder hacerlo mejor.

I really don't undestand the "para mejorar poder hacerlo mejor" part. It's really confusing. I'm not sure if there are three infinitives, if the poder means power, or if hacer means to make/to do in this case?. What I got out of it is "in order to improve the power to do it/make it better. Does anyone know what it's really saying?

(I'm not a Spanish native) I wonder if possibly it's a typo. Like they were going to say "para mejorarlo" and then decided later to say "para poder hacerlo mejor" and forgot to delete mejorar? But I could be wrong. - webdunce, Nov 11, 2010
I guess, it could mean "in order to improve the ability to make it better"??? (seems like it should be "mejorar E L poder..." in that case, though) - webdunce, Nov 12, 2010

Web, much better to answer in a post, your answer was correct, I don't find it necessary to use el though.

to better be able to make it better*.

Just wanted to repeat what has been suggested so that your thread no longer looks like it went unanswered.
