AR BASED INDOOR NAVIGATION: A REVIEW

Abstract

: Indoor navigation systems have gained traction recently since GPS reception is extremely low inside buildings and enclosed spaces. These systems involve using technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Artificial Intelligence, or even simple hard-coded maps with pathfinding algorithms between two marked places. Furthermore, the method to present this system is also slowly moving away from traditional approaches such as using a map on the mobile screen, to methods like using AR. This review paper intends to provide a comprehensive understanding and explore the potential of Augmented Reality enhanced Indoor Navigation Systems by comparing and contrasting various technologies, methodologies, and approaches. The paper also aims to provide a deeper insight into the capabilities, limitations, and future directions.
