APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PRESENTATION OF DIGITAL CONTENT USING A CMOS ENERGY RECEIVING SENSOR AND WIRELESS NODE POSITIONING
Apparatus for presenting digital content associated with a wireless node is disclosed. The apparatus includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) energy receiving sensor configured to receive electromagnetic energy from a radio target area within a field of view, a wireless transceiver, a controller, and a user interface display. The controller determines positional coordinates of the wireless node based on wireless communications with one or more reference point transceivers, defines the radio target area, and generates a digital representation of energy received by the CMOS energy receiving sensor. The controller further generates a user interactive interface including the digital representation and a dynamic portion indicative of the positional coordinates of the wireless node, and displays digital content associated with the positional coordinates based on user interaction. The apparatus may further quantify environmental conditions and initiate automated control actions based on the quantified conditions.
