Real-Time, Continuous, Reliable, Indoor/Outdoor Localization
The portable devices market has experienced huge growth in their user base, particularly the smartphone Modern mobile and portable devices can now easily be configured with a navigation software development kit, using a specific set of components. The sensors already present in smartphones used for entertainment, can also be used to provide 3D positioning when satellite signals are absent or degraded. The testing on several current devices demonstrates this technology’s use in environments such as urban canyons or indoors. Without restriction on device usage, the solution provides the heading of the user, the 3D orientation of the device, and the users velocity.
