Integral Indoor 3D Guidance and Access-Control System

Annotation in Czech

In3DGuide project goal is to provide an integral indoor guidance system and access control based on last generation mobile devices capabilities and Augmented Reality technology. Large public structures and facilities play an ever-growing part in our everyday lives. These include large office buildings, shopping malls, rail stations, airports, museums and other public buildings, where most visitors are unfamiliar and want to find a specific destination or object (an office, a train platform, a parked car, an exhibited work of art). In many cases, providing information relevant to the path taken within the building can assist such visitors, for example: information in a museum about other artworks along the way, information about departing trains in a train station, or information about automatic payment stations, when looking for a parked car. An additional level of complexity is required when access is limited to certain areas on the premises. In such cases access control systems are often installed.The main goal of this project is to develop a product that guides people within such premises to their indoor destination using only their mobile phone and local communication networks (without necessarily using cellular operators'infrastructure). Augmented Reality (A.R.) will assist them in identifying their destination or the object they are looking for (e.g. a parked car). The system is intended for operation by the operating entity of such premises to increase macroscopic efficiency and people's mobility. The system will also be accessible from fixed terminals within the building, (static information points with the building's 3D directory preloaded).To achieve this, the project will utilize all of the mobile phone's capabilities (camera, screen, location system, compass, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc). Images taken by the camera will be used to guide the user and provide virtual information in a superposed layer of Augmented Reality.

Project results evaluation

During the project run, sensors for mobile phones localization based on WiFi signal have been developed. Data from the WiFi sensors is sent to cloud storage to be available to other subsystems. Another part was to create a system for over-the-air identifier assignment into mobile phones that could be used for person identification using NFC technology.
