Embodiments of the invention broadly contemplate systems, methods, apparatuses and program products that provide position tracking using a simple, low frequency oscillator that is attached to an object to be tracked, and one or more receiving stations that are placed around the area in which the object moves. Embodiments of the invention enable position tracking of the object using light weight equipment which minimally impacts the object's natural state.

Gesture-based association of multiple devices may be facilitated, which may effectuate presentation of content related to associated devices. Gesture detection may reduce or completely eliminate any ambiguity of whether the association is wanted or not. Some implementations may be employed in a theme park in which park guests wear an RFID wristband. During a park visit, when merchandise goods with embedded RFIDs are purchased (e.g., toys and/or other merchandise), the merchandise may be associated with the wristband and, therefore, the park guest wearing the wristband. Such association may give the theme park environment and/or the toy itself a mechanism to adapt their behavior depending on which toy the park guest is carrying. This may contribute to richer storytelling and personalized experiences, which may be realized by using location information, knowledge about the park guest's preferences or previous park visits, favorite attractions, age, language-specific information, and/or other information.

The present invention describes systems and methods for providing a power optimized waveform. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method of powering wirelessly powered devices including the step of providing a wirelessly powered device and a wireless power transmission system. Furthermore, the method involves receiving a power waveform to the wirelessly powered device from the wireless power transmission system, wherein each cycle of the power waveform includes a charge portion and a starve portion. Additionally, the maximum voltage of the charge portion is at least double the Root Mean Square ('RMS') voltage of the starve portion.
