What is Indoor Mapping?
Indoor mapping is the method of visualization indoor venues and spatial data on a digital 2D or 3D map. Showing spaces, amenities and businesses on a digital map enables solutions such as orientation in huge and complex buildings. These, in turn, let for many use cases that help different industries and companies optimize their workflows and experiences.
Indoor Maps Benefits
For Airports
Airports usually are immense and have a lot of facilities. People that have a flight may be in a hurry and it could be useful for them to inspect the indoor map on the way to the airport. Also there are a lot of other orientation usecases where indoor mapping may help like searching for favourite shops or caffees.
For Living Buildings
When selling apartments, it is preferable for your business to present the floor plan of the building to your customer in order to generate an image of the venue they are about to buy. In such cases there can be very helpful to have a digital indoor map, which can be accesed by anybody and anywhere.
For Shopping Centers
Running a shopping mall you have so many vendors you know, relationships and contracts to manage. At the same time, you are looking to offer visitors a great shopping experience so that they will return to your mall in the future too. Thankfully, indoor maps are really a good solution to this problem. However, they can benefit shopping malls in many other ways and shoppers too.
For Universities
Indoor mapping services allow universities to provide all staff, students, and visitors with web and mobile access to indoor orientation. It helps when navigating between buildings, floors, and rooms on a university campus. Everything from the onsite toilet to lecture rooms and other relevant locations may be shown on the campus map.
For Offices
The lack of autonomy in buildings causes frustration for employees and visitors. Getting lost is frustrating, especially in time-sensitive situations. Large office spaces often have multiple departments and floors which is why an interactive digital map of your office becomes an invaluable tool for your employees and management staff.
For Hospitals
Medical Institutions are often confusing. Sometimes it's challenge to effectively help patients and employees find their way around these large facilities which reduces efficiency. In this context, indoor mapping technology is a must-see innovation.
For Government
Governmental buildings often represent a big fear for the most of citizens when it comes to find specific office. Indoor maps would serve as a big help for this category of people. Another use case is emergency response for non public buildings. A good example is fire fighting operations.
For Museums & Galleries
Museums and galleries represent large places with lots of exhibits to see. The uncertainty of where and what can be found may frustrate visitors and reduce their will to visit such institutions. The impact of Indoor Maps can't be overrated when it comes to indoor orientation.
For Industrial
The buildings of factories with various departments are difficult to walk because of their sizes. Problems with orientation in indoor space may lower the productivity of the whole factory as well as increasing dissatisfaction of leader with their subordinates.
What is IMDF?
IMDF (Indoor Mapping Data Format) is a generalized, yet comprehensive model used to describe any indoor location, providing a basis for orientation, navigation and discovery. It can be rendered on any device and is the first step to enabling indoor positioning for iOS apps. Basically, it’s a package of GeoJSON files that meet specific data model requirements.
