Abstract

In today’s world, when smartphones are readily available, printed maps are outdated and replaced by mobile apps. These apps rely on technologies like GPS, Wi-Fi, etc. Unfortunately, in closed places like shopping malls, colleges, etc., these apps do not provide the best results. To tackle this problem of indoor navigation, multiple solutions using augmented reality (AR) have emerged over the last decade. In this paper, we discussed augmented reality and its application in indoor positioning and navigation. Furthermore, we have done a comparative study of these methods on the basis of attributes like compatibility, requirements, availability, and usability. The comparison helps state the advantages and limitations of the systems clearly.
