An indoor positioning system (IPS) is a system to locate objects or people inside a building using radio waves, magnetic fields, acoustic signals, or other sensory information collected by mobile devices.

At least three independent measurements are needed to find the indoor location.

Visioglobe technology can work with any of them, but also a combination of them.

Visioglobe work mainly with Navibees , Pole Star and Estimote for beacon triangulation, with Apple for Wifi triangulation and Philips Lighting for LiFi.

Moreover as the Visioglobe maps are all georeferenced, our software is also compatible with GPS to track position outside a building.

The common usage, is to provide blue dot navigation on the end user mobile, in order for him to see it’s own position inside a building. In that way, the end user can have real time updates of his position during the indoor and outdoor navigation.

Our software also allow to have dynamic Points of Interest. For some of the malls we deployed for Unibail-Rodamco Westfield, the user can track on Visioglobe map, the position of his own social network by seeing the real time position of any close contact moving on the map. He can then launch the step by step navigation to reach the contact that has previously accepted to be located.

Finally, Visioglobe technology can also be used for asset tracking, in order to see on a computer or a mobile phone the position of an asset on the map. The routing can then be launched directly until to reach the asset.
