Georgia Tech Research received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, focused on Hardware.
The patent covers an ultra-wideband localization system designed to achieve sub-millimeter precision tracking for handheld devices across large surfaces. Applications for this Hardware technology span whiteboard interfaces, medical instruments, sculpting tools, and gaming controllers.
1 Hardware patent addresses how handheld devices can be tracked across large work surfaces with very high positional accuracy, without relying on costly touchscreen infrastructure. The system uses a unidirectional ultra-wideband messaging protocol combined with sensor fusion, pulling together orientation, contact, and position data to achieve sub-millimeter precision. To separate multipath signals from one another, the design uses connections with varying cable lengths and attenuation characteristics, and it resolves fine positional detail by interpolating the peaks of RF pulses to produce high-resolution time measurements.
