Positioning
Positioning is an add-on for the Raptool Client that works out where a phone is inside a building. In a shopping mall, a visitor searches for a store and is guided there.
What it is
Positioning is indoor positioning and wayfinding for the Raptool Client. It combines Bluetooth beacons and Wi-Fi access points with the sensors already in the phone, the accelerometer and the compass.
The first use case is wayfinding in shopping malls and similar venues. A visitor searches for a store and gets guided there, without scanning a single barcode. Positioning is under development and in pilot, and it comes to Android first.
What you get
Positioning uses signals that are in the building and sensors that are in the phone.
Bluetooth beacons and Wi-Fi access points tell the phone what is nearby.
The accelerometer and the compass fill in the gaps and show which way the visitor is heading.
The visitor searches for a store and is guided there, step by step.
Build the venue with rooms, corridors and the beacons placed where they hang.
Venue licences are counted per floor.
Positioning comes to Android first, as an add-on for the Raptool Client.

Draw the rooms and corridors of each floor in the venue map.
Put the beacons on the map where they are installed. Wi-Fi access points help too.
