The NorthStar detector uses triangulation to measure position and heading in relation to IR light spots that can be projected onto the ceiling (or other visible surface). Because each IR light spot has a unique signature, the detector can instantly and unambiguously localize. Because the NorthStar detector directly measures position and heading, a localization result is intrinsically robust. A NorthStar-enabled product does not require prior training or mapping to measure its position. There is no need for expensive computational capabilities to use NorthStar.
NorthStar is:
Flexible - Many configurations are possible
Compact - NorthStar Detector is smaller than a matchbox
Expandable - Large scale environments, multiple mobile devices
Low cost - World's most cost-effective localization solution
Simple - Serial interface, no SLAM needed
Robust - Excellent line of sight
Fast - 100 msec update cycle
Accurate - On the order of a few centimeters in many applications
