NEW GPS MEANS HYPER ACCURATE VIRTUAL REALITY

As anyone who has ever missed a freeway exit while relying on navigation software can tell you, even at its best GPS is something of a guess. With a margin of error of around a few feet, GPS is can be decent enough for guiding cars on roads, but the wide range limits GPS to environments where a few feet of difference isn’t a huge deal. A new, hyper-accurate system, developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, can upgrade GPS accuracy from a few feet to a few inches.

The Fit bit Charge HR is an activity-and-sleep tracker that has a built-in heart-rate sensor and a feature commonly found on smartwatches: It alerts you when you're getting an incoming phone call. The device also has a stopwatch feature for timing runs and other workouts, and sells for about $150 on the Fitbit website, or Amazon. That's about the same price as other fitness trackers that also do continuous heart-rate monitoring, such as the $150 Mio Fuse and the $130 Adidas miCoach Fit Smart.
