ARway Corp Chief Product Officer Shadnam Khan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has been granted a provisional patent for Device Localization based on Computer Vision and Visual Inertial Odometry. That technology follows the previously announced Digital Twin patent and is the 2nd in a series of patents planned to secure the technology.
Khan telling Proactive this technology focuses on enabling augmented reality and 3D experiences within digital twins, which are generated from two-dimensional floor plans. The patent also has broader implications, as it allows for large-scale location persistence without the need for expensive hardware like beacons, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. The company's echnology utilizes sensors available in everyday devices, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, odometers, and cameras, to provide accurate positioning and tracking indoors.
