Smartwatch GPS Breakthrough Delivers Centimeter-Level Location Precision
A research breakthrough is set to transform smartwatch navigation with centimeter-level GPS precision. The technology could make affordable wearables as accurate as professional surveying equipment for the first time.
Smartwatch GPS Accuracy Reaches Survey-Grade Levels
Consumer smartwatches may soon know exactly where you stand—down to the centimeter—according to reports from an international research collaboration. Sources indicate that algorithms developed by researchers at the University of Otago, in partnership with Google‘s Android Context group and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have demonstrated unprecedented positioning precision on consumer-grade wearable devices.
