  • Abstract:
  • Indoor navigation presents unique challenges in complex environments such as airports, hospitals, malls, and large office buildings, where traditional GPS-based systems are ineffective due to weak or absent satellite signals. This research explores the development of an indoor navigation system using augmented reality (AR) technology to overcome these limitations and improve user experience. The proposed system provides real-time visual cues, including directional arrows, path markers, and text overlays, on a user’s smartphone or AR-enabled device, guiding them through the space by augmenting their real-world view. By combining multiple positioning technologies—Wi-Fi fingerprinting, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, and QR-code markers—the system achieves high localization accuracy in a way that is both cost-effective and scalable for large indoor spaces. The indoor positioning component of the system dynamically integrates data from Wi-Fi access points and BLE beacons to estimate the user’s position with greater precision, while strategically placed QR-code markers allow for calibration and correction of position drift. These combined positioning techniques enable the system to maintain reliability, even in areas where individual positioning methods might struggle due to signal interference or physical obstructions. The augmented reality interface is developed using AR SDKs like AR Core and ARKit, allowing for an intuitive user experience where navigation information is seamlessly superimposed onto the environment. A* pathfinding algorithm calculates optimal routes, taking into account real-time factors such as obstacles or reroutes due to changes in the user’s path. This real-time adaptability ensures that users receive accurate and up-to-date guidance to their destinations.
