Galahad
Real-time location ranging tag that makes use of ultra-wideband and Bluetooth technology to find items you had.
Fall 2022 - Spring 2023
People have a lot of stuff, many of most could be misplaced, left behind, or stolen. There are some items you can’t afford to lose. What if you could make any personal object trackable? It would cut out the need for time-consuming searches and not quite being able to retrace your steps. Galahad helps people find their possessions. Utilizing ultrawideband devices with the integration of a radio frequency antenna on the module and SoCs supporting built-in Bluetooth Low Energy. We use tiny components in our design to achieve an overall small dimension. Acting as an anchor for the finder, these finder features would only work with a smartphone application as a receiver. Real-time direction and distance will be possible with the Nearby Interaction Framework on Apple iPhones equipped with the U1 chip.
