1. An Agent supportable device for pointing towards an item of interest, the Agent supportable device comprising:
a smart device supportable by a person at a location relative to a ground plane, the smart device comprising:
a. a memory storing a software program;
b. a location sensor;
c. a network interface enabling the Agent supportable device to communicate via a wireless data communication standard;
d. a directional sensor enabling an indication of a magnetic based direction;
e. an antenna configured to communicate with a wireless data transceiver;
f. an ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver in logical communication with the antenna;
g. a transmitter also in logical communication with the antenna;
h. a user interface surface;
i. a clock
j. a processor in logical communication with the memory, the processor operative via execution of the software program to cause the Agent supportable device to:
i. with the location sensor, generate a location of the smart device supportable by a person;
ii. with the receiver, receive a first digital communication from the wireless data transceiver comprising a UWB transceiver, the first digital communication comprising an identifier and data useful in determining a distance of the wireless data transceiver from the smart device supportable by a person;
iii. referencing the first digital communication, generate the distance between the wireless data transceiver and the smart device supportable by a person;
iv. with the transmitter, transmit a second digital communication to the wireless data transceiver, the second digital communication comprising data useful to determine a direction of the wireless data transceiver in relation to the smart device supportable by a person;
v. calculate a round trip time of at least one of the first digital communication and the second digital communication;
vi. based upon the second digital communication, generate the direction of the wireless data transceiver in relation to the smart device supportable by a person;
vii. generate a directional vector representing the direction of the wireless data transceiver comprising a UWB transceiver in relation to the Agent supportable device;
viii. display a user interface on the user interface surface, the user interface comprising an arrow symbol representing the wireless vector and indicating the direction of the wireless data transceiver in relation to the Agent supportable device the direction of the wireless data transceiver comprising a direction of interest; and
ix. display on the user interface the distance between the Agent supportable device and the wireless data transceiver.
