Microsoft indoor navigation- path guide that defines the future
Navigation system made the life of people quite simple and easy as they find the destination location easily with the just use of smartphone even if they are in other city but these mapping systems are limited to outdoor navigation.
The new app known as ‘Path Guide’ introduced by tech giant and collaboratively known as ‘Microsoft Indoor Navigation’ provide the service i.e. you are able to learn the desired shop with this app while you are walking around the shopping mall.
Why is indoor mapping so essential?
I believe that you have a hard time when you are locating the destination shop in a bustling shopping center where you want to meet your friend?
How you wander the building when all the flats look same? These are a hard time for the people and one remains unable to approach the right destination within the first attempt but this app will help you to reach the right location.
How does Microsoft Indoor Navigation aim to create an indoor map database?
The indoor mapping is quite difficult to achieve for the tech giants as they need to scan every single place of the building while outdoor navigating easy due to Global Positioning system and the indoor system requires high technology to equip inside.
Microsoft has pretty intelligent solution towards their problem as database learns about the path with the help of people, it tracks the people follow paths using smartphones and application learns about the person steps taken and directions to reach the destination. This information was used by other people in the future.
Microsoft ‘Path Guide’ app is quite easy to navigate the person:
You just need to open the app and it will provide you the information in textual formats such as you need to walk 20 steps and then need to move right and the prototype of application is still available for the Android users.
How to record path using Microsoft Indoor Navigation?
You simply need to open the app and click on a recording and tag your friend as a destination and the mobile sensors are used to record the path and when you want to submit the path it will ask you some questions regarding the place.
