This is the next frontier for personal and machine navigation -- and many are out there now, working diligently on it. In just one example, a new chip fuses input from several sensors, using the best combination at any given time to maximize coverage and accuracy while keeping power draw to a minimum. This produces continuous position availability in indoor environments, as demonstrated by performance measurements in real-world test environments.
The senior product manager responsible for this development joins us to talk about the inner workings and the outer manifestations of this new solution.
