1. A system comprising:
- a first device comprising a screen and at least one vector magnetic sensor that senses the magnetic field produced by the Earth;
a second device comprising a modulating magnetic source, said first device is configured to utilize the at least one vector magnetic sensor which interfaces with the modulating magnetic source in the second device to obtain vector data, said vector data corresponding to information communicated from the second device to the first device;
wherein said information comprises an identifier; and
,wherein said first device is configured to use said identifier with a location look up table.
