I do love the idea of a good medium bandwidth proximity based protocol that has very low latency. 802.15.4z goes 2.4Mb/s but proprietary UWB in the same domain goes up to 64Mb/s which becomes more interesting.

10cm is pretty good positional accuracy too, albeit it feels perhaps short of what we'd need for great pose tracking. To me it's fun to consider what a smart home that can better project it's own digital twin. Also useful data for AR & spatial computing.

For anyone else following Mouser new product feel, I think the arrival of Qorvo'a newest Qorvo QM35825 RF SoC was a very fun arrival to see. https://www.mouser.com/new/qorvo/qorvo-qm35825-uwb-low-power...

I do wish that high bandwidth UWB was doing better. I really like the idea of a wireless dock, being able to plug in USB devices and get good bandwidth and especially low latency. I'm not super keyed in to what's happening in VR headset space but they seem to be the only folks using high speed UWB at all these days. WiGig / 802.11ad I hope we see you again!

This is wandering really far afield from the topic at hand, but should out to FluxPosez which is trying to build short range pose trackers using magnetic sensing. Seems really neat too. https://www.fluxpose.com/
