Hi Erwos - it looks like the technology takes a 100ms view of the RF at the same time as you snap a picture. Then they time stamp that 'RF image' and when it links up with the photo on the PC, there's some calculation engine that gets a lat/lon. I saw the demo at Vegas - looks like a no-brainer for someone like Kodak, but probably be a Japanese manufacture (judging by the interest at their booth). If they get it into a camera, I'll be able to sort my photos.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
And this thing gets a GPS lock instantaneously after turning on? Very impressive... or unrealistic.
