Abstract

A display system for tracking large numbers of persons or objects in real-time is disclosed. The display system utilizes a tracking system that employs various types of technologies, such as RFID, to determine the location of the person and/or objects being tracked. The displays of the present invention utilize colors, graphics, and the physical groupings of related data on a display device, usually a computer monitor, to present tracking information in a compact, readily changeable, and easily analyzed format in real-time.
