Light GPS? An introduction to visible light positioning
Visible Light Positioning (VLP) is a cutting-edge technology that harnesses the power of visible light to enable precise indoor positioning and location-based services. Unlike traditional GPS, VLP leverages the ubiquity of LED lighting infrastructure to transmit data and location information, revolutionizing navigation, asset tracking and context-aware applications within indoor environments. This innovative approach holds the promise of enhancing user experiences, optimizing logistics, and unlocking new possibilities in various industries by providing highly accurate and real-time positioning capabilities. In this presentation, we delve into the basic principles of Visible Light Positioning.
