Forkbeard Lyra is an app that uses Forkbeards FUEL (Fast-Ultrasound-Echo-Location) technology, which allows for unrivaled positioning of a smartphone in environments containing Forkbeards infrastructure. Forkbeards FUEL positioning technology is based on Ultrasound (> 20kHz) and Bluetooth-Low-Energy.
Forkbeards battery-powered infrastructure broadcasts Ultrasound and BLE signals, both of which can be picked up by the smartphones existing sensors.
Forkbeard delivers near 100 times better distance accuracy than Bluetooth signals alone, allowing you to get down to centimeter level location accuracy in indoor environments. Combining the strength of ultrasound and Bluetooth with the formidable array of sensor technologies found in modern device platforms, Forkbeard accurately positions mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops with a latency of only up to 1 – 2 seconds. Moreover, the ultrasound technology always ensures >99.9% room-level location accuracy, which makes Forkbeard the only indoor positioning technology needed for any workflow, and way-finding applications.
