We propose a method of high accuracy device position and orientation detection in Two-Dimensional Communication environment. Two-Dimensional Communication (2DC) is a technology which enables devices placed on a thin sheet to achieve two key functions for ubiquitous computing, to communicate one another and to receive electricity through the sheet wirelessly. Our positioning function encodes the position information into the top meshed conductive layer of the 2DC sheet. A capacitance sensor array captures the position information pattern and detects its position and orientation on the sheet. Our prototype achieves the positional errors smaller that 4 mm and the rotation angular errors smaller the 3 deg. This work has wide-range applications in fields of sensor network, ubiquitous computing, and human-computer interaction.
