Nokia Research has been demonstrating a new system that can accurately track people or objects within a building. It works in a similar way to what GPS does but instead uses a Bluetooth tag along with several bluetooth arrays that are attached to the ceiling. By triangulating where the Bluetooth sensor is it can give an accurate representation as to where an object is.
The image below shows a Parrot drone being tracked. The actual unit has a bluetooth sensor on top and the sensors around the room are used to track it and then the BT sensor feeds back the information to the computer which is then represented on the screen.

If you are currently a Nokia Developer Champion or a Nokia Launchpad member, you are already eligible, and you will soon receive an e-mail to explain how to get your new Nokia Windows Phone.”
