Abstract
Systems for routing interactive content, for example, from a primary display to a specific user's device in a multi-user environment, can present challenges in identifying the intended recipient. This disclosure describes systems and methods that can combine spatial data with orientation data to help ascertain user intent. For example, spatial positioning of devices may be determined using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio signals, while an inertial measurement unit in a handheld control device (e.g., a remote control, smartphone, or wearable device) can track its orientation. By fusing these data streams, a directional vector can be projected from the control device. A target device may be identified, for example, when its UWB-derived coordinates are determined to be within a volumetric cone defined by this vector for a predetermined duration. This approach can facilitate an intent-based mechanism for routing payloads, such as advertisements or polls, from a primary display to a user-targeted secondary device.
