KU Campus Navigation
How can a person navigate a mapped campus using local spatial data and route computation?
What must be trueA campus navigation system must turn local spatial data and a user's position into an understandable route and next maneuver.
Navigation remains useful when the map, route graph and maneuver logic can operate close to the user without depending on a general-purpose directions service.
The researched workflow will appear here when its public video has been published.
Why does this matter?
Navigation remains useful when the map, route graph and maneuver logic can operate close to the user without depending on a general-purpose directions service.
What does this look like in practice?
The investigation follows the work from what is established at the start to the result that must be accounted for.
Meaningful navigation can be computed locally from a bounded, trusted map rather than delegated entirely to a remote service.
