Precise centimeter-level positioning on a smartwatch during 4 hours of data in Dunedin, New Zealand. The dots show the repeatability of one second of data in comparison to precise benchmark coordinates. The repeatability of the positioning is about 8 cm, at most twice as large as the smartwatch diameter of 4 cm (displayed to scale). (Image: Study authors) University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researchers have developed algorithms that improve the precision of location […]
