Many-a-times we waste a lot of time figuring out directions in huge indoor spaces like hospitals, malls, colleges and many such places where outdoor navigation systems don’t work. We intend to provide a solution to this root cause. The proposed system will bridge this gap of navigation in indoor places using Augmented Reality Technology and smartphones. This would act as a virtual guide to the user in indoor environments. Users can simply use their smartphones and they will get directions in real time through augmented reality on their screen. The directions would be provided using multiple factors such as sensor calculations, device orientation and image recognition using Computer Vision. The system would allow pedestrians to navigate through large indoor environments easily using just their Smartphone. This project will make available a scalable computer vision based navigation system for indoor environments. This system will eliminate use of any hardware devices in the current indoor navigation system other than the users’ mobile device.
