This intensity-based approach is probably suitable for deciding what ad to display as someone moves around a store. It's not going to make VR headsets work indoors.
At 1M, this would become much more useful. Then they could tell which aisle of a store you're in, and approximately what shelf section. At 4M, it's more like knowing what department in a department store. At 1M, for a museum system, they could tell what object you're looking at and give you the audio for it.
