Study Notes
Indoor Spaces and Navigation
- 87% of people spend their day indoors, and 60% of the population lives in cities, making indoor spaces a significant area of study.
- Indoor spaces are complex, with features like closed spaces, limited sunshine, artificial lights, no natural shadows, man-made structures, obstacles, and narrow spaces, making navigation and modeling challenging.
Current Indoor Navigation
- Current indoor navigation apps are limited, using floor plans or 2.5D surfaces, and ignoring vertical information, thematic semantics, obstacles, and Granularity.
- Geometric approaches are used, but lack thematic semantics, such as doors, windows, and room details.
- Individual guidance is provided, but with no simultaneous navigation for multiple users, and only walk and drive locomotion modes.
Future of Indoor Navigation
- Future possibilities include navigation in public buildings, exhibitions, airports, construction sites, libraries, and shopping malls.
- Other applications include maintenance and repair operations, navigating to mobile facilities, and emergency response.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- BIM is an intelligent model-based process for business and industry transformation.
- It uses 3D models to capture, explore, and maintain consistent and coordinated planning, design, construction, and operational data.
- BIM provides greater project insight, enables prompt response to change, and smarter and faster processes.
Benefits of BIM for Owners
- BIM empowers owners to improve building quality, reduce building lifecycle costs, better understand design projects, optimize operational efficiencies, and increase occupancy and use rates.
- It also provides transparency, quality, and efficiency in building design and operation.
