Abstract

This paper presents the vision of the Hyperfloor, a local positioning system offering the possibility of local positioning of staff, personnel, visitors, patients and equipment in a hospital environment. The HyperFloor vision is based on camera recognition of floor patterns with a correspondence through wireless networks to a database. The HyperFloor offers a robust supplement to other local positioning systems and can be used by networked camera based devices used by patients or brought by visitors.
