Prototype Implementation

In order to evaluate the concepts developed in Section 4.2, we implemented a first prototype system. To keep the hardware overhead small, this prototype system consists of only two lighthouses and allows observers located on the plane $y = 0$ to determine their $x$ and $z$ coordinates. From a conceptual point of view, the differences to a 3D system are minimal.
