Abstract: A method for showing objects in an augmented reality environment includes the steps of an Augmented Reality (AR) device obtaining spatial information and object identification (ID) from an anchor device. The AR device obtains parameters of the objects from a cloud system. The parameters of an object include the image of the object, the audio of the object, and a first spatial relationship between the object and an anchor device. The AR device obtains a second spatial relationship between the AR device and the anchor device. A third spatial relationship between the object and the AR device can be obtained according to the first spatial relationship and the second spatial relationship. The image of the object and the audio of the object is displayed or projected in the AR device according to the third spatial relationship.

Abstract: A system and method for one-way ranging is disclosed. The system comprises a transmitter, also referred to as a tag, transmitting a first frequency in a first frequency group. The receiver, also referred to as the locator, receives the first frequency and measures the phase at a first point in time. At a later time, the transmitter switches to a second frequency, which is close in frequency to the first frequency so as to also be part of the first frequency group. The receiver also switches to the second frequency. The receiver then measures the phase of the second frequency at a second point in time. The transmitter and receiver then repeat this sequence for a second frequency group. The four phase measurements are used to determine the distance from the transmitter to the receiver. In this way, improved accuracy may be achieved by having a large separation between the first frequency group and the second frequency group.
