Indoor Wayfinding

The process of navigating within enclosed spaces such as buildings, airports, shopping centers, and hospitals. Indoor wayfinding presents unique accessibility challenges because GPS signals are unavailable indoors, and traditional wayfinding cues like signs and maps are visually dependent. Accessible indoor wayfinding systems use technologies such as BLE beacons, Wi-Fi, RFID, or computer vision to provide location-aware guidance to people with disabilities through alternative modalities including audio, haptic feedback, and simplified turn-by-turn instructions.
