Abstract

Many navigation systems for visually impaired people have been developed, but few can provide dynamic interactions and adaptability to changes. The aim of this working life project is to create an innovative navigation service solution that will improve the quality of life of the visually impaired. For example, a university campus might be such a large and rambling place that visually impaired people can not always find the services or rooms they want to. Therefore, we are devising new service solutions that exploit the technical features of modern WLAN systems in an innovative way. This paper describes the LaureaPOP system that focuses on the indoor navigation service design in a wireless local area network environment.
