AR and VR Wayfinding Use Case

You can implement indoor wayfinding via Augmented and Virtual reality to help your employees, visitors, and customers find their away around your sites.

Juniper Mist location services offers indoor location wayfinding via augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), enabling application users to navigate the premises using their enhanced real-world surroundings. You can implement AR/VR wayfinding at large-scale locations where your app users need assistance finding their way around.

A Juniper Mist User Engagement subscription and the Juniper Mist SDK enables you to integrate bluedot wayfinding into your on-site mobile workplace and mapping applications. In this, the partner application provides the camera-based AR/VR wayfinding experience, and the Mist SDK provides the bluedot within that. In order for your employees, customers, or visitors to use AR/VR wayfinding, camera access on their device must be enabled for the application. In-app alerts can also be pushed in real-time, such as to alert visitors as they approach or enter restricted areas.

Scenario

Let's say your company has a large campus with various buildings and rooms, some of which are restricted to visitors. You want to integrate wayfinding into an application that both employees and visitors can use to find their way around.

For example, employees may need assistance navigating within large storage facilities to find the location of certain items, or they may need help navigating in buildings that they do not typically work in. Visitors need assistance navigating within buildings to find areas such as conference rooms or offices, and you also want to ensure they stay out of restricted areas.
