EarlyJ - Tracking project

Post by earlyJ »

Hi,

We´re a group of students from Norway who tries to make a cool product where you can track people and make a heat map of a big area.
The Idea is to give all the people in a place som kind of transmitter, and put up receivers around so we can track the movement.
We´re having problems finding the best way to do this. {bnghd}

The thing is that the transmitter has to be extremely small! Preferably under 2cm*3cm*0,5cm. Is this possible at all?
The receiver dosen´t have any specific measurements requirements, but we hope to make it smaler than 20*20*20cm, and whiteout any antennas sticking out of the box.

I hope some of you guys could give us a hint of where we should start and what kind of transmitter we should look at.

Thank you so much! :D
