Navigio

Problem and implemented solution

- More than 30% visitors leave without buying anything because they did not find what they were looking for, or even do not know about the existence of such facilities - More than 70% people want to learn about the city in a selfguide mode during the walk when it is convenient for them, in an interesting form - More than 80% of people feel discomfort on forums, museums and new locations Navigio is a mobile application that provides augmented reality navigation and platform that allows to change augmented reality easily and quickly. Users can use Navigio to explore the world through virtual tours and interactive routes. It is intended for both urban infrastructure and major events and cultural-tourist locations. The application provides additional contextual information about location objects and helps you to navigate in unfamiliar places thanks to its easy navigation and user-friendly interface.

Description of competitive advantages

About project: - Providing historical and cultural information through interactive elements on the route; - Creation of virtual reconstructions of historical events and places when the camera is pointing at the object; - Users can gain personalized experience by choosing their topics or locations; - Improved orientation and ease of travel via AR-signposts. The uniqueness and advantages of technology: - In Moscow and in Russia we have launched the largest projects on city facilities; - We are the only ones to create a platform in which even a schoolboy can create augmented reality and navigation in minutes without programming skills; - Using both GPS, token method and user location scanning. Competing related technologies: Position determination by: - Bluetooth labels and WiFi. The method is expensive and difficult to scale. - GPS - does not have sufficient precision for complex spaces and cannot be used in a closed circuit.
