1. A method for tracking location of a plurality of imaging devices in a computing system environment, comprising:

  • receiving, at a first imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices, at least one broadcast signal from at least one other imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices;

    generating position data associated with the at least one other imaging device using the received at least one broadcast signal;

    transmitting the position data from the first imaging device, to a server, wherein the server creates a multi-dimensional map of initial locations of each of the at least one other imaging device relative to the first imaging device based on the position data;

    upon movement of the at least one other imaging device from the initial location to a second location, receiving at the first imaging device another broadcast signal from the at least one other imaging device at the second location;

    generating second position data associated with the at least one other imaging device;

    transmitting the second position data from the first imaging device to the server; and

    redrawing the multi-dimensional map to show the new location of the at least one other imaging device at the second location.
