The Impact

Results of a comparison study of the tracking accuracy of two commercially available wide-range position tracking systems suitable for CAVEs are presented. An experiment was conducted with Flock of Birds and IS-900 tracking systems installed in the same CAVE environment to compare their accuracy. Another experiment was performed with a newly deployed IS-900 to investigate the impact of different ultrasound emitter configurations on the accuracy of the location tracking. The results show that the IS-900 has a much better accuracy over a larger range of operation than does the Flock of Birds; however, it is sensitive to the optimality of the ultrasound emitters configuration.

Tracking Objects

Tracking systems of moving objects provide a useful means to better control, manage and secure them. Tracking systems are used in different scales of applications such as indoors, outdoors and even used to track vehicles, ships and air planes moving over the globe. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system for tracking objects moving over a wide geographical area. The system depends on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies without requiring the Internet service. The implemented system uses the freely available GPS service to determine the position of the moving objects. The tests of the implemented system in different regions and conditions show that the maximum uncertainty in the obtained positions is a circle with radius of about 16 m, which is an acceptable result for tracking the movement of objects in wide and open environments.
