WHAT IS WAYFINDING?

It is easy to get lost when walking in a shopping mall or school campus. Wayfinding is particularly important in large facilities, dispersed campuses, huge malls, busy public spaces, and especially, unfamiliar environments. Indoor navigation abilities increase efficiency for businesses, be it retail, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing. Visitors do not have to waste time just finding a place, making their experience a more enjoyable one! All benefit.

HOW DOES WAYFINDING WORK?

Wayfinding refers to information systems that guide people through a physical environment and enhance their understanding and experience of the space. The latest digital wayfinding systems often integrate mobile applications, interactive digital displays, RFID, and other wireless technologies. onActivity offers 3 types of wayfinding solutions: Smart Ambassador, AR, and iBeacon.

Smart Ambassador.
A smart wayfinding technology

Integrates A.I. and anonymous facial recognition for wayfinding. It recognises visitors in the shopping mall to offer direction and recommendations. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) backend kicks in for better response to your customers and treat them like your V.I.P.

AR wayfinding.
Putting navigation at the user’s fingertips

An immersive indoor navigation system that combines digital signage and mobile apps. Via the screen on a smartphone or tablet, AR wayfinding provides turn-by-turn directions overlaid on the camera’s view, adjusting by location based on where the user moves. Users can receive real-time direction, distance, rerouting, and even promotional content with augmented imagery.

iBeacon wayfinding – personalized indoor navigation via Bluetooth

Based on Bluetooth Low Energy, iBeacon transmits a constant signal that other devices can see. When a visitor walks into a venue, the related app will use the broadcasted beacon info to find his exact location, in real-time, and give him/her a blue dot location on the map. The app will then guide visitors with turn-by-turn navigation to the destination, e.g. a specific shop, their car in the parking lot, or a certain gate in a travel hub.
