The NavVis GmbH develops innovative products and applications for centimeter-precise mapping and navigation in indoor spaces. For simple orientation even in complex buildings such as factories and exhibition halls, airports, train stations, shopping centers, museums, and much more. The patent-pending trolley maps the surroundings in a very short time using laser scanners.
At the same time, cameras create a dense network of high-resolution 360-degree photographs of the entire interior. A browser-based IndoorViewer enables you to look around the building, find your way, interact with any stored points of interest (e.g., video or audio files), and take precise point-to-point measurements.
NavVis plans next generation
The next generation of NavVis will also enable turn-by-turn indoor navigation via smartphone. Similar to human orientation, this visual positioning does not require any additional infrastructure in the building, such as Wi-Fi hotspots, RFID, or Bluetooth.
