QR navigation
QR navigation is a budget–friendly solution that allows you to implement a digital navigation system indoors without deploying additional infrastructure.
QR code navigation is a simple way to solve indoor navigation, which makes it possible to determine your position using QR codes without installing a mobile application and plotting a route in a web browser.
Basically, QR navigation is QR tags that are scanned by the device's camera and an interactive indoor map opens indicating the user's exact location on it.
The main advantages of using QR navigation in rooms
Quick orientation
Quick indoor positioning, search for points of interest and the shortest route to them, information about the desired object in your mobile phone.
Available to all
QR codes can be placed on any surface and media: walls, floors, elevators, information stands and other objects in the building.
Just use
Without a mobile app. There is no need to install the app, the map opens in the user's device browser.
It's cheap to implement
The introduction of QR navigation is cheaper than alternative indoor navigation solutions, as it does not require additional equipment.
The main advantages of QR navigation systems are their accessibility and ease of implementation, as well as their wide range of use.
Indoor navigation using QR codes can be used in shopping malls, exhibition complexes, higher educational institutions, medical institutions: polyclinics and hospitals, stadiums and sports complexes, museums, hotels and hotels, business centers and office premises, warehouses and factories, as well as in parking lots of shopping complexes.
The main functionality of QR navigation is based on recognizing QR codes and building a route from the place where the QR code is read, or a selected point on the map, to the desired object or room.
Our indoor navigation using QR codes consists of a web widget with a map and a web navigation control panel in which the administrator creates an interactive map, routes, adds the necessary rooms, descriptions and images to us.
Use cases
You need to quickly determine your position and get your bearings.
scan the QR code and see your location on the map of buildings and objects (rooms) in the vicinity.
You need to find out the route
scan the QR code and enter the name of the room you are looking for in the widget that opens through the search window, click set route and the shortest path in front of your eyes.
It is necessary to find the way to the car in the parking lot
scan the nearest QR code, enter the number of your parking space in the search, and it is displayed on the map in the widget that opens. One more click and the route to the parking lot is set.
Demonstration of advertising
The administrator sets up an advertising company in the control panel and uploads banners that will be shown to users when scanning QR codes. A banner with advertising information will be displayed on top of the widget with the map, which the user can close.
How navigation works with QR codes
The user scans with the camera
the QR code located in front of your mobile device.
The QR code opens in the browser.
an interactive map of the object and the user's location is displayed on it.
The user can choose
on the map, the object (room) he is interested in, or find it through a search and set a route to it, which will be displayed on the map in the browser. You can also view information about the object.
Then the user moves along the route
to the object of interest (room). Unfortunately, QR navigation does not track the user's location in real time when moving.
There are more and more large buildings and structures that are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, and it takes longer to find the right store or car in the parking lot than to make a purchase.
The Indors Navigation platform and its QR navigation module in buildings help speed up the process of orienting and finding the right room.
It often happens that in order to hold a meeting, it is necessary to explain to all visitors how to find a meeting room or go to meet them at the entrance area of an office or business center. And since office complexes are getting bigger and bigger every year, they include several buildings in which an independent search to find the right room can take a very long time, it is necessary to use modern indoor navigation systems, for example, based on the Indoors Navigation Platform, which also allows QR navigation indoors.
QR navigation indoors will help you navigate transport facilities, such as train stations or airports. You can quickly determine how to get to the ticket office or check-in desk, find the right apron or boarding gate using the Indors Navigation geographic information system, which will help reduce search time through the use of modern geolocation systems, including QR code navigation.
INDOORS SDK iOS
Indoor navigation using QR codes can also be implemented in a mobile application by implementing the INDOOR SDK for iOS and Android devices.
INDOORS SDK Andriod
You can integrate the functionality of our geolocation platform into your mobile application in just a few hours thanks to detailed documentation.
