UWB Basketball Demonstration (amazing real-time location tracking, and a fun demo to boot!)

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range RF communication technology which enables indoor positioning using a real-time location system with centimeter accuracy. Its main benefits include low latency, robustness, high accuracy at high refresh rates and scalability - even in harsh environments.
In Industry 4.0, UWB is one of the fastest-growing technologies in Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS). Indeed, its reliability and its low sensitivity to potential interference with other wireless systems makes it ideal for industrial environments.
In automotive applications, UWB secures access to the car and enables new use cases.
UWB has gained wide public attention in recent months in the consumer sector as the top-ten smartphone vendors have all embedded the technology into their latest mobile phones. This wide adoption and the introduction of UWB in PC and smart-wearables from top OEMs paves the road to a myriad of location-aware applications.

If it were made into a three-dimensional display, it would be even better. I also do UWB location job

UWB tracking like this has a lot of applications. I’m actually working on a project for a VFX application. Camera tracking is generally done optically, however that can be effected by a lot and may not be as easy and reliable, so tracking and key framing the cameras position helps VFX artists like myself. Also, this kind of technology is used in the aviation field, can be used in games like soccer, golf, football, tennis etc… Quite a few possibilities actually. Oh, what about drones? If one could track a route, you could do it again perfectly if you have it’s tracking data. Something quite useful in film once again.
