Wifarer Mobile Indoor Positioning on Android Guides Me Through the @RoyalBCmuseum

August 10, 2012 By Editor

Yesterday afternoon I took a trip to the BC Museum… not purely for fun (Ok, seeing the dinosaur exhibit was a blast! ) but I also went to test out some killer indoor positioning technology. Indoor positioning is a real challenge (Google, Apple, Nokia and others still haven’t figured it out) but a company in little old Victoria BC, Canada has figured it out and they have a killer solution available to Android users (sorry, Apple won’t let them or other developers do this as they likely have their own plans… good luck coming up with something better than this Apple! So, check out my summary of the experience along with a hands on demo video of the app that I shot on site (sorry about the quality of the video… shooting the phone in the dark is challenging!)

Simply instal and run the Wifarer app on your Android mobile
The app will detect venues nearby
