Connect to real-time indoor positioning

Connect the setup with Proximi.io proprietary indoor positioning library. The library works seamlessly indoors and outdoors, and across multiple floors. The technology combines Bluetooth beacon data with other sensor data and algorithms for determining the user’s current positioning.

Accessible audio navigation

The navigation experience is tailored for both sighted and blind users. Proximi.io is the first platform to commercially implement the ITU-T F.921 protocol. That is a recommendation for “Audio-based indoor and outdoor network navigation system for persons with vision impairment”, released by the International Telecommunication Union. The recommendation specifies the format and details to be included in navigation instructions. Such as:

  • Audio notifications before instruction
  • Utilizing clock-face instructions instead of compass directions
  • Notifying user of landmarks that they are passing by on their journey
  • Alarming user of hazards on their journey
  • Arrival instructions
  • Possibility of determining different audio messages to different user groups
