ABSTRACT
This paper describes a proposed augmented reality software called HARIN for indoor navigation. Navigating buildings poses a significant problem to a variety of populations, including disabled individuals and maintenance workers. The general population also faces difficulties navigating larger, or unfamiliar, buildings; the potential benefits of a solution are significant in scope. Initial solution attempts have been produced successfully in other research, however there is much room for improvement, particularly in user interface design and localization accuracy. To pursue these improvements, this paper proposes an AR indoor navigation using the HoloLens as a platform for new types of navigation markers to improve user experiences and decrease location estimate error. A proof-of-concept software prototype for a part of the overall HARIN system is shown, and future work is discussed.
