Abstract
This paper describes a light sensor-based information transmission system for indoor tracking, which uses simple fluorescent lamps, and is very cheap and economical. Fluorescent light is used as the medium to transmit information, which is encoded using a pulse-frequency modulation scheme. The user receives the data through a receiver circuit and it is passed into the wearable computer after the data is decoded.
