1. An electronic device comprising:
a communications radio;
an inertial sensor;
a camera sensor;
a display device;
memory to store instructions; and
one or more processors to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:
determine one or more inertial displacement measurement values using the inertial sensor and received camera sensor data;
determine a trajectory based on the one or more inertial displacement measurement values;
receive a beacon signal from a target wireless device and determine at least one signal strength value from the beacon signal;
estimate at least one proximity value to the target wireless device based on the at least one signal strength value corresponding to at least one position along the trajectory; and
present an indicator of the at least one proximity value to the target wireless device along the trajectory in a user interface, wherein the trajectory represents a path taken by the electronic device.
