How to collect data and test NAO Campus?

2 ©Pole Star 2013 - All Rights Reserved 21/07/2014

You are halfway to setting up NAO Campus Indoor Location solution.

Venue modeling done. Data collection to do.

3 ©Pole Star 2013 - All Rights Reserved 21/07/2014

The aim is to create a positioning database (PDB)

from the collected sensory data of the whole venue.

e.g : Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) power levels

4 ©Pole Star 2013 - All Rights Reserved 21/07/2014

For positioning on Android,

existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can be used

For positioning on iOS,

our BLE beacons are required

Our BLE beacons can also be used

if your Wi-Fi network is not dense enough.

BLE-based positioning only works on Android 4.3+

You can order BLE Beacons on NAO Cloud

Once your Wi-Fi and/or BLE infrastructure is ready.

You can go collect measurements in the building.

To collect measurements,

you’ll walk everywhere in the building

twice (forth, back, forth, back)

with our setup mobile app running on your smartphone

The app displays the floor plans.

While walking, every once in a while,

place a waypoint at your current location on the floor plans.

The system will associate the sensory data collected along the way

with your locations and will generate a Positioning Database.
