Unlocking the Secrets of Indoor Navigation using QR Codes


Every year, indoor navigation is being used more and more by administrative, educational, and medical institutions, especially since the recent pandemic, when companies were faced with the task of social distancing and improving staff workload. For example, indoor positioning systems (IPS) have become more and more available in buildings around the world, which can reduce patient wait times, as well as help avoid queues in offices or reception areas.

  • Indoor Navigation Challenges: Traditional GPS struggles indoors due to signal blockage by walls, making navigation in large buildings difficult.
  • QR Code Solution: QR codes can guide users to specific points of interest (PoIs) within buildings by linking to digital maps and routes.
  • Benefits: This system improves user experience, reduces staff workload, and provides valuable analytics on visitor behavior.
  • Navigine’s Offerings: Navigine provides an open-source solution for developers to integrate advanced indoor navigation algorithms into their projects.
