this works well with an Apple 11-13, but on 14+ Apple has removed the second antenna from the phone, so it cannot do ranging natively.
the AR approach does not work for our blind users (camera they cant see and it kills our voice driven UI)
AND Android UWB is different than IOS UWB..
anyhow.. we want to explore a user held device also with a qorvo 52833/40 to run FIRA ranging.. this works.. (think phone case) but
now I need to connect the ranging process and data to our phone app..
does the 833/40 have the horsepower while UWB ranging (FIRA) to handle another BT connection to our phone app
the data is small, and not terribly frequent
I see the ranging sample app.. over an OOB BT connection.. this would be similar output
so our phone app would connect to the device (bt?)
send commands to the nordoc resident app
the nordic resident app would execute start/stop ranging, FIRA commands lo the FIRA UCI app that Qorvo provides
and send the ranging data to the phone app.
the device would be battery powered, not wire connected
and if it has an IMU we could use that for user info on orientation.
