Project Overview

The Problem

Indoor navigation on cruise ships is inherently difficult for passenger, because ships are vast, look very similar and are mirrored. We want to give the user a good navigation experience with technology. The user just provides us with a target destination and we infert the current location of the user and compute the ideal route through the ship. The navigation is updated live and simple to understand and follow.

The solution

Build an app that does indoor positioning and AR navigation. Based on a digital model of the ship

Core technologies

Indoor positioning

Any type of client side on device indoor positioning wiht as little additional sensor introduced to the ship as possible. Accuracy of about 1m.

SPLAT

3D model of ship with live navigation overlay. Basically transforming our 3d position of the indoor positioning technology + gyroscope into a live AR experience that renders a SPLAT.
