Agumented Reality Driven-Indoor navigation system

Abstract— Large, intricate structures like airports, malls, hospitals, and institutions now require indoor navigation. Particularly for first-time visitors, traditional navigation techniques like maps and signboards are sometimes challenging to use. Additionally, using GPS-based navigation is challenging indoors due to poor or nonexistent GPS signals. By creating an indoor navigation system based on augmented reality (AR), this project seeks to address this issue. Using visual cues like QR codes, the system determines the user's present position and utilizes the phone's camera to display virtual directions (such as arrows) on the screen. Because of this, users can easily follow the route in real time and arrive at their destination without getting lost. Although the concept is for a collegiate facility, other locations such as shopping centers, hospitals, and airports may employ the same technology. It is a useful tool for interior navigation since it is interactive, easy to use, and GPS-free.
