To improve wayfinding in hospitals or other complex buildings a prototype of an indoor navigation app was implemented that uses Augmented Reality for positioning and guiding users. The iOS and Android app allow the navigation from anywhere inside an area of 690 m2. In a usability test 8 from 12 users preferred using the app over a map or verbal directions. Along with the proposed improvements this approach allows covering areas as large as 100'000 m2.
为了改善医院或其他复杂建筑物中的导航,我们实现了一个室内导航应用程序的原型,该应用程序使用增强现实技术进行定位和引导用户。这个适用于 iOS 和 Android 的应用程序允许在 690 平方米的区域内进行导航。在一项可用性测试中,有 8 名用户中的 12 名更喜欢使用该应用程序而不是地图或口头指示。通过改进,这种方法可以覆盖 100000 平方米的大面积区域。
