Fine-tuning GPS to centimeter-accuracy for wide array of applications
Mountain View, CA, August 7, 2015—Ken Pesyna, a doctoral candidate at The University of Texas Electrical Engineering School, has been selected to receive the 2015 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award. The 28-year-old researcher will receive the award at the Royal Society in London on October 20, 2015.
“Ken’s work on centimeter-accurate and power efficient GPS may have turned conventional wisdom about this field on its head,” says Bob Tkach, a Marconi Fellow and chairman of the Young Scholar selection committee. “His ability not only to develop a new theory but to prove it in practice was truly impressive. Ken is on track to make breakthrough contributions in our field.”
Pesyna’s work makes use of a special part of the GPS signal that, if used correctly, can provide centimeter or even sub-centimeter positioning accuracy. Such accuracy is required for augmented and virtual reality (i.e., overlaying animated objects into the real-world, or a purely virtual world such as what is done with the Oculus Rift). These are technologies that require that head movements be tracked minutely, allowing the screen to compensate for that movement in a way that is convincing to users.
