AR navigation
Indoor navigation using augmented reality is the display on the screen of a mobile device of a route drawn in real space by 3D graphics.
Indoor navigation with augmented reality helps visitors find the shortest or pre-determined route to their desired location in the room.
Compared to map-based navigation solutions, internal AR navigation is able to visualize digital content on the way to a destination: information about an object, advertising, and other data.
The use of augmented reality for navigation has a positive effect on the development of the facility and user loyalty
Traffic optimization
Users find the route they are interested in much faster and get to the desired point in the building.
Advertising along the route
Displaying the necessary information along the user's route based on his position.
Gamification of a visit
In interactive mode, visitors can follow the route on their own or with the help of a virtual guide.
Product search
Efficiently find goods on a store shelf or warehouse shelf by visualizing them.
AR navigation is necessary for any objects.:
airports, shopping malls, factories, warehouses, offices, museums, clinics and hospitals
Our augmented reality indoor navigation system supports user position detection and route correction based on QR codes, visual image recognition, wi-fi network tracking, and Bluetooth beacons.
AR navigation in the Interiors Navigation Platform has an API, due to which it can be easily integrated with your CMS and into a mobile application using the available iOS and Android SDK.
Detailed documentation will make this process as fast as possible.
There are several approaches to determining the position in a room that determine 2D or 3D coordinates, which are later used by the AR navigation system.
Each of the following technologies has its strengths and weaknesses. 2D positioning systems (GPS, beacons, antennas that determine the angle of the Bluetooth signal, Apple Indoor Positioning) have high latency and low accuracy, and markers and visual recognition are difficult to scale and require constant user interaction.
GPS
In an open space, a GPS satellite signal with a positioning accuracy of up to 5-15 meters can be used to determine location. The accuracy depends on the number of available satellites, weather conditions, and more.
BLE Beacons
These are small Bluetooth signal emitters that are attached to walls in rooms at a distance of 10 meters. Depending on which beacons the mobile device receives signals from and their power, it calculates the location. The accuracy is 2-4 meters.
Apple Indoor Positioning
It uses the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and provides indoor positioning with an accuracy of several meters by using radio frequency patterns of Wi-Fi access points. It does not work poorly in public spaces with a large number of Wi-Fi access points.
Visual recognition and SLAM systems
This technology allows you to create and update a map of the environment, while simultaneously tracking the user's location in it. A point cloud is created based on the image of the space, and based on it, the user's coordinates are determined. The area limit is 200 meters and only on modern mobile devices.
Markers (QR codes)
Placing markers on an object with an accurate location allows the mobile device to know exactly where the user is at the time of scanning the QR code. After reading the QR code, the user can walk a distance of about 50 meters with a deviation of 1 meter.
Directional Bluetooth antennas with detection of the angle of the received signal
They are mounted on the ceiling and allow you to track BLE beacons with an accuracy of up to a meter. The antennas measure the horizontal direction and vertical angle of the radio signal from the beacon. Such devices are more difficult to install with conventional BLE tags, since they are connected via an ethernet cable and require separate power supply (POE).
ARKit
Apple Indoor Positioning passively uses the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and does not require the deployment of additional equipment.

Indore AR indoor navigation
Our team tested the indoor navigation mode using augmented reality in the Interiors Navi Platform (INP). In the Presnya City residential complex, we walked along the corridor to the elevator, went down to the underground parking lot and reached the selected parking space due to the 3d AR mode arrows.
We provide information about all the features of our platform with a detailed description of API and SDK integration.
