A Calgary startup called Takemetuit is working on a solution by developing a navigation system that works indoors, with help from the Living Labs program run by the City of Calgary.
The indoor positioning system (IPS) is a system used to locate objects or people inside a building using
- lights
- radio waves
- magnetic fields
- acoustic signals
- other sensory information
