In the last couple of weeks, every discussion about Augmented Reality led to Pokemon Go. And that’s ok, because, after all, it’s the biggest mobile game in the US history. And in the world’s history, maybe.
Even if you’re not a Pokemon Go player, you’ve noticed the relentless mob that started looking for Pokemon. Walking around in the parks, at the beach or even at a concert, hoping for a good catch.
Beside the passion for the game, one thing the players have in common: it seems they lost their compass.
Luckily, the perfect solution in just around the corner. Just for indoor at this time but it can be a real help in the Pokemon hunt.
Insider Navigation from Innovation.rocks
Founder and CEO at Innovation.rocks, Clemens Kirner talked inside ICEEfest about a very special and unique product that offer intuitive, accurate to the millimetre indoor navigation.
“Actual indoor positioning solutions needs mostly a lot of hardware plus a lot of walking in a buiding to measure the fingerprint“, said Clemens adding that “in this case you only get a rough idea where you are”.
What makes Insider Navigation so special?
- No hardware
- Not only showing position but immediate direction
- Not only indoor navigation but indoor experience
- Making a personalised journey
How does it work? Optical tracking!
In order to avoid all the hardware, radiation and maintenance costs, Insider Navigation comes with an easy implementation process available for iOS and Android.
So, what’s the secret:
- The building is scaned and its optical features are extracted
- A point cloud reveals the underlying structure of the buiding
- A 3D model of the building is created and matched with the point cloud
- The model is positioned on the global map
- Through the smartphone’s camera the algorithm positions the users in the buiding
Clemens Kirner came with some nice case studies about the efficiency of his product. Discover how Insider Navigation is using Augmented Reality in the presentation below.
PS: Watch out, insider Pokemon!
