Described as ‘breathing life into the spaces we work in’, Ubisense Smart Space uses patented technology to create true interaction between user and the enabled object. Definitely beginning to sound like something out of Star Trek here, the new technology is said to be quite reliable though.

What are the potential applications here? Well, they could potentially be endless. I will be watching closely to see in what direction this concept takes existing automation technology. Should prove interesting.

From developing new and productive ways to
utilize office space to locating patients, medical staff and equipment in hospitals to managing innovative lighting for stage shows, Ubisense Smart Space uses patented and patent pending technology to create an ultrawideband- based network inside a building capable of locating a person or object in three dimensions to within 6 inches in real-time. The devices comprising the
platform today received certification from the Federal Communications
Commission to operate in the United States.

While traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is
becoming the standard for managing product manufacturing and the distribution
supply chain of low cost items, Ubisense Smart Space takes location-based
technologies to a new level, enabling automation of a space — and everything
in it.
