Indoor navigation using augmented reality

This work focuses on the design and implementation of a mobile application for indoor navigation using augmented reality. The target environment was Building E at Charles square. The development process included an analysis of localization methods, destination selection approaches and available visual navigation techniques. The relevant parts of the building were scanned and transformed into a digital model consisting of point clouds and GLB objects, which served as the foundation for a functional prototype featuring a basic user interface and a single navigation method. Initial user testing was conducted to evaluate the apps functionality and localization reliability, during which several issues with the interface and positioning were identified and subsequently addressed. In the next phase of development, two additional navigation methods were added, and visual elements were improved, including the representation of occluded parts of the virtual objects. The results of the second round of testing, which included user feedback through a questionnaire, were analyzed, and suggestions for potential future improvements were proposed.
