Abhi-Darth-Plagueis, 16 Dec 2019Okay, so this seems like a new and interesting thing. How f... moreit depends on the signal range of the device. previous bluetooth version are able to tell the distance between two bluetooth devices; bluetooth 5.1 adds sensing of the angle of the bluetooth signal. when you add the 2 together you can triangulate the location of a transmitting device relative to the receiving device or vice-versa. from the bluetooth group, the angle sensing is 3D so it can very well track movement. demoes also show there is relatively no lag.

    Spike1, 16 Dec 2019So note is less than 6 months old and didnt have BT5.1!? Too muchYeah, the main thing I took from this article is that the Note10 doesn't have 5.1.

        Very unfortunate that it runs on an old SoC.

          Okay, so this seems like a new and interesting thing. How far precisely, it'll work? I mean just above the screen? Or upto full range of BT 5.1?

          because I can visualize the ad for this one -

          An orchestra conductor directing all too many artists on the small screen - with the S-Pen , instead of a baton.

            turns out this feature to be very responsive and real time tracking with no lags
