• Abstract:
  The Project is a Systems Integration solution in partnership with NaviLens. NaviLens is a mobile phone application that utilizes customized colorful QR-like codes (“codes”) to provide users with context-specific indoor and outdoor wayfinding and service information. ; NaviLens can translate visual signage into audio, and to solve the “first mile/last mile” problem, in which GPS data only guides a user to the general vicinity of a location, as opposed to directly to the location itself. The app can detect codes at significant distances and angle, informing the user of what destination has been detected (i.e., “stairs down to R platform” or “bus stop 23 St, Broadway”) and their distance and angle (i.e., “50 feet away, to the right), to help guide the customer directly to the exact location of the code. Once the user has arrived at the location & scans the code, additional information can be presented including live service information (e.g., train/bus arrivals, elevator status). NaviLens can also translate this information into dozens of languages, a boon in a diverse city like New York.
