A couple of inches? Realistically, cameras. Lots of cameras and some OpenCV to do the distance calculations.
Bluetooth triangulation is very hard (don't ask me how I know) and won't get you that kind of resolution. Apple's AirTags won't either. Dots painted on the floor at regular 1 yard or 10 foot intervals, in view of the cameras so that calculations can be inferred? Now we're getting somewhere.
The good news is security cameras have existed for a long time, and you can almost certainly find someone to bulk purchase from on the cheap.
If you insist upon using a wearable you may be able to get a light source on everyone you can calibrate towards. I'm not sure whether that's very helpful in practice.
- eeemmmooo 2y agoInteresting idea. I wonder if there is a way to do the “dots” on the floor idea in a way that people wouldn’t notice them, but the cameras would.
