Indoor Positioning
Indoor Positioning refers to technologies and systems used to locate objects or people inside buildings where GPS signals are weak or unavailable. It enables real-time tracking, navigation, and location-based services in environments like airports, malls, hospitals, and warehouses. Common methods include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacons, ultra-wideband (UWB), and sensor fusion techniques.
Developers should learn Indoor Positioning for applications requiring precise indoor navigation, asset tracking, or context-aware services, such as in retail for customer analytics, healthcare for equipment monitoring, or smart buildings for automation. It's essential for IoT projects, augmented reality experiences, and safety systems where outdoor positioning fails.
