<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">I think its just using the same
frequency as wifi, not the 802.11 protocol. Considering its an unlicensed band
I’m kind of surprised it can operate as far as it says it can. I would think it
would have to stick to pretty low power. I bet that those boxes would have to
have a pretty accurate clock if they are using the GPS-like time of flight
method of positioning, so probably you couldn’t use just a re-purposed
router.</span></p>

the xbox kinect or other motion tracking stuff, unless it becomes more
accurate. I would think it would be useful for things like gps indoors where it’s
usually blocked.</span></p><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 11:44 AM, Steffen Gauglitz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sgauglitz@cs.ucsb.edu">sgauglitz@cs.ucsb.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
No: it doesn't deliver orientation.<br>
Plus, if it's using the same technology as WiFi, why can't we use existing WiFi routers to do the same?<br>
Who would pay for installation of a fine-grained network of yet another device everywhere... ? If so, they could have/would have deployed a network of D-GPS stations already.<br>

That is cool. It looks like it is not restricted to indoors. Will this<br>
be the end of visual camera tracking??<br>

This seems cool. If it takes off, it could solve a lot of the<br>
problems encountered with various location based applications.<br>
