Overcoming the Challenges of Indoor Navigation

“But I thought indoor GPS doesn’t exist.” If you work in the location-based services industry, you’ve probably heard that sentiment at least daily. In a 15-minute session, Nick Farina will discuss the technical, design, and infrastructure challenges of indoor navigation, as well as how some mobile developers and IT teams have overcome them. Borrowing from 10 years experience in mobile development for navigation apps — namely his experience developing the first indoor GPS-like app with Cisco for the American Museum of Natural History — Farina will review a number of successul strategies for helping visitors navigate indoor locales.
