ABSTRACT:
A wireless location and identification system includes a controller and a tag. The controller has a projector configured to generate a unique temporal sequence of light intensities for each pixel in an output image of the projector and a wireless transceiver configured to emit an output signal and receive an input signal. The tag includes a photo-sensor configured to sense the unique temporal sequence of light intensities of a particular pixel, a transducer configured to receive the output signal from the transceiver, and a means for modulating, according to the unique temporal sequence of light intensities, the input signal for the transceiver in response to receiving the output signal and sensing the unique temporal sequence of light intensities of the particular pixel to indicate a location of the tag to the controller.
