DARPA is developing a navigation chip GPS technology improves

The technology GPS navigation is the most used tool in the world. It has changed the way we travel and saved us a lot of problems, but not perfect. A GPS signal can be interrupted easily.Simply enter a tunnel for the GPS or even miss some nearby outdoor signal can cause interference. Since global positioning system (GPS for short) was designed for use at military level, the "constraints" that presents can become a big problem.

To solve the problem, several DARPA researchers take time working on a new positioning technology amounts to a kind of GPS enhanced and more powerful. The new navigation chip is named Timu.

"To go from point A to point B accurately we need three things: orientation, acceleration, and time," according to DARPA says. This new chip can be integrated into devices that have sensors to measure these three things.

The Timu chip, which is still a prototype, is extremely small as you can see in the image and is composed of several layers of silica, plus a few sensors of course.

Do not know whether this technology will be available to the general public or will be used exclusively for the military.
