Location-Aware Applications

Our UWB localization middleware enables developers to create immersive, location-aware applications that respond intelligently to user movement. By providing high-precision indoor positioning data, the system opens up new possibilities for spatial computing applications.

Real-Time Location Tracking

Real-time visualization of user movement captured by our localization system

The video above demonstrates our middleware’s ability to track user movement in real-time with sub-20cm accuracy. This precision enables applications that can respond instantly to user position changes.

Zone-Based Audio Experiences

Building on this precise location data, it unlocks new possibilies for user interaction and interfacing, we build a sample application whereby custom zones can be defined for diff audio profiles or playlists. This serves as an example to a novel user interface.

Other examples of potential applications

Audio Applications:

• Zone-Specific Playlists: Different music playlists automatically play based on which room or zone the user enters
• Adaptive Audio Mixing: Seamlessly transition between audio sources as users move between zones
• Personalized Soundscapes: Custom audio experiences tailored to specific locations in the home

Smart Home Integration:

• Automated Lighting: Lights adjust based on user location and time of day
• Climate Control: Systems respond to occupancy patterns in different zones
• Security Systems: Enhanced monitoring with precise location awareness
