flyby-is-best-known-in-the-tech-world-for-powering-googles-project-tango-a-3d-motion-tracking-initiative-intended-to-help-mobile-apps-understand-their-relation-to-physical-spaceFlyby says its technology can be used for "indoor mapping and navigation, autonomous navigation for drones and automotive vehicles, and advanced tracking for Head Mounted Display (HMD) systems."

Flyby is best known in the tech world for powering Google's Project Tango, a 3D motion tracking initiative intended to help mobile apps understand their relation to physical space.

Flyby's tech is all about tracking the 3D motion of an object and has been applied to indoor mapping, an area Apple is certainly interested in.

The core of its tech is called "VFusion" and can track "drone and car-based systems at distances of up to 10 miles."
