LOCALIZATION FOR WEARABLES
Centimeter-level positioning for the human body in motion
From athlete timing on the race course to body-worn cameras on patrol, wearables follow people into places satellites struggle to reach. Point One's GNSS corrections and sensor fusion modules deliver the accuracy and continuity that body-mounted devices demand.
CORE APPLICATIONS
Keeping every wearable centimeter-accurate
From the wrist to the shoulder strap, race courses to city patrols, Point One delivers the centimeter-level positioning and sensor fusion that body-worn devices need in the field. Logging an athlete's line, documenting an incident, or locating a worker on the fourth floor all starts with knowing exactly where the wearer is.
HUMAN MOTION MODEL
Gait-aware fusion of GNSS and IMU data tracks walking, running, and standing still, holding position through the arm swing and stride impact that throw off generic vehicle models.
SMARTWATCHES
Cloud-delivered corrections and a lightweight engine bring precise tracks to the wrist, with correction profiles that adapt to the power and antenna limits of a watch-sized device.
BODY-WORN CAMERAS
Every frame tagged with a precise, time-synchronized position and floor-level height, giving evidence and incident reports a location record that holds up to scrutiny.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Centimeter-level position on vest-worn tags keeps every crew member located across the job site, flags entry into hazard zones, and sends responders straight to a location where help is needed.
positioning engine
Purpose-built human motion models
Through fused GNSS and inertial data, the Positioning Engine follows the stops, turns, and stride rhythm of a person on foot, holding accuracy through arm swing, body shadowing of the antenna, and sudden changes in pace.
Finely-Tuned Motion Models
Wearable-specific motion models tuned for pedestrian dynamics, zero-velocity detection at every footfall, and the vibration profile of a device worn on the body.
Tightly Coupled System
Pre-calibrated fusion of GNSS corrections and the device IMU, maintaining accuracy on the sensors already inside your wearable.
RTK network
Move with confidence on the most geographically dense RTK network in the world
Point One's RTK Network delivers rapid convergence, so a wearable gets a precise fix in the first steps of a run or the first minutes of a shift. With an average of 40 km to the nearest reference station, every wearer gets the accuracy that dense urban environments require.
True RTK (1-2 cm)
Single-baseline and Network RTK that enables centimeter accuracy horizontally and vertically.
Virtual RTK (3-7 CM)
Continental SSR delivery of corrections where wide coverage is important.
HARDWARE-AGNOSTIC
Runs on any platform
The Positioning Engine is built to perform anywhere, from the microcontroller in a watch to the companion processor in a body-worn camera. It delivers identical accuracy across architectures, giving OEMs control over integration, performance, and power.
CROSS-ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT
Runs natively on lightweight MCUs and high-performance processors alike.
PORTABLE CORE
Written in C/C++ for easy integration into custom hardware and software stacks.
FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT
Supports on-module, companion, or external configurations — without sacrificing precision.
WE KNOW WEARABLES
Positioning expertise for your wearable
Most positioning platforms are designed for vehicles. People move differently: they stop without warning, turn in place, climb stairs, and block the antenna with their own bodies. Point One builds motion models for the way people actually move, with centimeter-level accuracy across all three axes and the RTK network density to support every environment a wearer enters.
DEAD RECKONING
Wearers lose GNSS in stairwells, parking structures, and dense downtown blocks, exactly where first responders and field workers spend their time. Point One's sensor fusion maintains continuous, accurate positioning through every gap, keeping the wearer located.
VERTICAL ACCURACY
Knowing the floor matters as much as knowing the building. Point One's positioning supports 911 multi-story location on every US iPhone, and brings the same vertical precision to body-worn devices.
MOUNT-AGNOSTIC CALIBRATION
Whether wrist, shoulder, chest or strap, Point One's engine estimates installation offsets and IMU bias in real time, so heading holds when a device rotates, slips or gets re-clipped mid-shift.
FLEET MANAGEMENT
Point One's GraphQL API provisions, tags, and monitors every device from one endpoint, with real-time subscriptions that stream location data to your application without polling, from pilot to thousands of wearers.
