New upgrades to old wireless tech could enable real-time 3D motion capture

A wireless technology that is helping people find their keys and wallets could one day be used for precise and real-time 3D motion capture, thanks to upgrades developed by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego. The team’s new work improves on ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology so that it is faster, extremely low power and able to provide high accuracy in 3D localization.
