Interior models of real university buildings created as digital twins for realistic navigation scenarios.
Integration with a real web-based navigation app: as you move through the virtual environment, your position updates live on your smartphone map.
Participant movement tracking: the system collects data on how users navigate, helping to identify which types of navigation support are most crucial for first-time visitors.
Accessible online via pixel streaming.
I’m currently running tests with this system, and the results will be part of my PhD research.
If you have 15 minutes to spare, I invite you to take part in my study!
Thank you for your support!
Let me know if you like it!
Hello!
It depends what you mean. My research focuses on university buildings and you can participate remotely, just from your computer. But the results will be applicable for any indoor navigation - so also in malls, airports, etc.
Thank you for answering! I remembered the name of what I was asking about a week later, haha. I was curious if it would work with something such as strip malls? To me, they feel kind of like an “outside mall” of sorts, so I was just a little curious!
Interesting idea! Usually, outdoor tracking is much easier thanks to GPS, but combining indoor and outdoor location in places like strip malls is a really interesting case. Thanks for the inspiration!
This looks amazing! What an interesting research project.
The pixel streaming approach makes it accessible, though I notice the image quality isn’t very crisp. If you’re looking for a high-fidelity solution that could showcase your detailed university building models with better visual quality, Vagon Streams offers no-code pixel streaming with 60 FPS & 4K image quality and lower latency thanks to their global infrastructure across 20+ datacenters.
