New GPS technology that identifies locations within
centimetres could open way for advances in virtual
reality, scientists say
New GPS technology that can identify locations accurate to within
centimetres could open the way for huge advances in virtual reality and
mobile mapping, scientists believe.
Researchers at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of
Texas said the centimetre-accurate GPS-based positioning system could
allow unmanned aerial vehicles to deliver packages to a specific spot on a
consumer’s back porch.
The new system, which is far more precise than the orientation capability
currently available on smartphones, could also enable collision avoidance
technologies on cars and allow virtual reality (VR) headsets to be used
outdoors.
Researchers said the advanced GPS coupled with a smartphone camera
could be used to quickly build a globally referenced 3-D map of one's
surroundings that would greatly expand the radius of a VR game.
Currently, VR does not use GPS, which limits its use to indoors and usually
a two-to three-foot radius.
