Method and apparatus for location determination of wearable smart devices

This invention describes a way to figure out where a transmitting device, specifically a smartwatch, is located. It does this by having the smartwatch interact with at least three other fixed devices, called nodes, which already know their own unique identity and location. These fixed nodes can also communicate with each other to help pinpoint the smartwatch's position.

Why it matters: The rapid evolution of consumer virtual and augmented reality hardware since 2023 has created a new need for precise, localized tracking of wearables like smartwatches. This invention's approach to determining a smartwatch's location could enhance immersive experiences.
