Wearable computer collect at least a lot of information an dcompute them. Sure. To do so they often need environmental data. One of them is to localize you. And that still a problem. As easy it is for you to know where you are it really is a challange for a machine. Which floor, which room, what part of the room - there are a lot of information needed.


Alex Varshavsky presents the first accurate GSM indoor localization system that achieves median accuracy of 5 meters in large multi-floor buildings. This project is a collaboration of researchers from Tartu University in Estonia, the University of Toronto and Intel Research Seattle.
