Smartwatches now track your location with centimeter precision

Your smartwatch may soon know your location with stunning accuracy—down to a few centimeters. In a world-first achievement, researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand have developed new tracking algorithms that dramatically improve how precisely smartwatches can pinpoint their position. The research, led by Associate Professor Robert Odolinski from Otago’s School of Surveying, […] The post Smartwatches now track your location with cen…

Researchers demonstrate centimeter-level positioning using smartwatches

University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researchers have developed algorithms that improve the precision of location tracking in smartwatches. Led by Associate Professor Robert Odolinski, a visiting researcher with Google from Otago’s School of Surveying, the research team demonstrated that a smartwatch determined its location with centimeter-level precision over four hours with a stationary setup. The result was achieved by using the Google …
