Abstract :
We present a prototype for indoor navigation using Augmented Reality that uses interior features to determine the user´s location and provide navigation instructions. We test our prototype in a simulated physical shopping mall environment and find that AR-based navigation can provide usability advantages in indoor locations, particularly where targets are located on different floors. We conclude by recommending further work in presenting interior navigation instructions using AR.
