Personal Indoor Navigator

This is a demo of the Personal Indoor Navigator (PIN). PIN is an application that utilizes both a building's current Wi-Fi infrastructure, and deployed Bluetooth beacons to achieve room level accurate indoor positioning. Other technologies such as Red Pin and WASP use fingerprint-based localization to predict a mobile users indoor location. PIN expands on these technologies by incorporating Bluetooth signals and achieves the accuracy needed to navigate a user indoors. PIN gives the user of an Android cellphone the ability to locate themselves within a building and visually draws an overlay map on the cellphone displaying the current location and the route to a particular room destination.

This demo is the result of a 15-week effort by members of a CMU SV MS SE part-time student project team who will be graduating in August.
