Indoor Campus Navigation Using Augmented Reality

Abstract

Abstract—Augmented Reality can now be used for a variety of things including educational purposes, businesses, tourism, museum illustrations, manufacturing and marketing as well. One of the parts Augmented Reality is highly exercised and researched, is the Indoor Navigation, Indoor Navigation can be applied in campuses, malls, multiplexes, offices etc., basically where the area is huge, and we need to locate a particular place in that huge indoors. Because in these places what happens is a lot of new visitors enter who are not familiar with the place, and so they keep on searching for their desired location and waste a lot of time in it. So that is the problem that is solved through AR Navigation System. Indoor Campus Navigation Using Augmented reality, which provides people with essential AR direction and Drop-down buttons which consist of destination names. The aim for our project is to direct user to different areas of the campus and alert user about the areas they are passing through with a mini-map. For indoor navigation augmented reality uses inbuilt characteristics to determine a person's position and provide the necessary navigation directives. The project makes use of technology like UNITY, AR CORE, AR FOUNDATION, and NAVMESH etc. Keywords: Indoor campus Navigation system, Augmented Reality(AR),Navmesh, AR Foundation, Unity
