Objectives / Summary

Background
Currently the are existing a lot of large areas and guidance and accessibility of people to them is not always a obvious theme. Within the concept of "large area" we can include such different concepts as shopping areas, museums, libraries, recreation centers, public buildings, and airports. In such places it is easy to get confused and not easy to find the "object of our desire", which can be a physical object; as an art work or a book, or a place; trade, a store, a room or a boarding door.
Nowadays there are many miscellaneous signs that have no standardization, and in many cases do not follow the "Universal Design for All."

Expected Results
This project aims to build an application that can be accessed from a fixed point, static point of information, and mobility, through a portable device such as Pocket PC, PDA or a next generation mobile phone. This application will contain a 3D model of the large area in which different objects are represented, both physical objects and places, and which may be accessed from the fixed point of information. In the same way, it will be developed a thin client on the move, so that once made the question of the object / place you want to locate, could guide the user through Augmented Reality through the space of the "large area".

End Users
Any person using these large surfaces described in section of the background of the project. End User: Large building and locations infrastructure managers.

Exploitation / Dissemination
There will be developed one or two prototypes of some of the examples of "large area" and validated their performance in them. In a second phase it could be "packaged" the product for future distribution throughout the state and possibly throughout Europe.


Impact

The project's impact can be classified as follows:
a) impact on business competitiveness: very high for the development of advanced technologies, it is expected to increase the competitiveness of enterprises and the emergence of NTBCs
b) new jobs will be created directly in R & D participating companies
c) solved problems affect to a percentage of population close to 100%, according to use of mobile phone terminals. No exclusions are created by disability, and that technology can be easily adapted for use of all people, and even enables services for e-inclusion

It is proposed to obtain a patent at the of the project.


Potential market

Any infrastructure managing institution or association for "large areas": museums, entertainment centers, libraries, airports, communications exchangers.


Sought partners

• Private company, minimum 10% of its activity on R&D. Activity related to indoor positioning technologies, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and RFID.
• Mobile Application Developers.
• End users, large area institutions, such as museums, commercial centers, airports,…
