By integrating three or more dipole antennas into the frames of glasses, users can efficiently locate radiating nearby objects of interest within their augmented reality-based, FOVs (people carrying smartphones or smartwatches, retail items incorporating miniature antennas, IoT objects). In this system, each local object emits an "I am here" signal and, correspondingly, each antenna onboard the glasses, receives the same signal at a different signal strength. By measuring the received signal strengths at each of the antennas, the system can estimate the directional whereabouts of the local radio emitting object: Front, Left, Right or Unknown. This solution, which is based on common radio emission modules such as Bluetooth Low Energy and asymmetric radiation patterns, elegantly requires less hardware complexity, connectivity, and power. It does not rely on static “object” locations, imprecise GPS positioning, or power-intensive and faulty image recognition solutions.
