Phone GPS inacuracity
I want to develop an application and i can see that location based AR would be an amazing addition to it, however, phone gps can have low accuracity and i wonder if its possible to improve?
- i read about the oracle ancors, however dont know how much it would improve, and if it can be dynamically used, and does it need to be purchase every time you go back to the same location?
Describe the solution you'd like
Its more like asking for information, but might develop to a feature.
///Non-tech founder here, appologies for the things i dont know, however, as a landsurveyor has some knowledge of locations.///
My app will serve road construction sites, which 90% the time has a topographical survey which is coordinate correct to the proposed, which i want to display in AR.
Would it be possible to increase accuracity based on point pairs/references or at all if it would increase to accuracity?
- map interface, shows user position and lines of topographical survey
- User can chose a break point that can be clearly indentified on ground ie manhole corner
- Interface to change camera view zoomed in with a crosshair, user to aim camera at the same manhole corner, hold phone their for 20 sec (to get multiple values to filter false perceptions)
- rinse-repeat, min 3 times
- Transformation values created
- apply these values when switching to AR
- these values are reset after 1 hour
- But chosen points can be stored, so next time would be quicker
(Basically creating a calibration)
is it possible, would it help?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Other than GPS today much accurate positionings are possible especially in built areas, distance to mobile towers, it is possible to receive this data i saw some providers and the triangulated position calculated from this data is much more accurate.
Any chance to replace GPS positioning with this data?

Please correct me if im wrong, but feels like worth a discussion
Thank you
