*Hmmm. Well, a thirteen-year contract with the Pentagon ought to keep these guys solvent for a while. Now for "centimeter-scale" non-GPS positioning in the smart-city context. Microsoft Xbox One Nine Eight Four has the living-room handled already, while Leap Motion will do your hands.
*We seem to be creating positioning systems on a wide variety of scales now: micro-sized (RFID), hand-sized, lap-sized, desk-sized, room-sized, building-sized, city-sized, missile-range sized, drone-radar-sized, and global. One notes in passing that anything that can be 3D-scaled and registered can also be augmented.
*It's a press release.
