Described is a sensor that is used to determine the location of an object with additional features that create human-recognizable feedback that identifies an individual object, solving the problem of needing a specialized device to perform the identity step. The location data is sent to Edge or Cloud devices that contain the raw location data. This data has location information that is used to automatically update an Enterprise Manufacturing System (EMS) or other system critical location. This invention integrates multiple location technologies to overcome the limitations of a single method. In addition to updating business systems (EMS), the cloud devices display location data in a multimodal (maps & digital twin) system, allowing operators to visualize and track the movement and location of objects. The combination of coordinated 2D mapping and 3D digital twin representations creates a superior understanding of an object's location and orientation with respect to other objects in its vicinity leading to exact identities within the workflow.

Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices can track pose of a wearer's head to provide a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects in the wearer's environment. An electromagnetic (EM) tracking system can track head or body pose. A handheld user input device can include an EM emitter that generates an EM field, and the head-mounted AR device can include an EM sensor that senses the EM field. EM information from the sensor can be analyzed to determine location and/or orientation of the sensor and thereby the wearer's pose. The EM emitter and sensor may utilize time division multiplexing (TDM) or dynamic frequency tuning to operate at multiple frequencies. Voltage gain control may be implemented in the transmitter, rather than the sensor, allowing smaller and lighter weight sensor designs. The EM sensor can implement noise cancellation to reduce the level of EM interference generated by nearby audio speakers.
