IVION Go is able to find your position inside buildings with 1 cm accuracy.
GPS (or, more precisely, GNSS) signals are blocked inside of buildings, therefore we cannot rely on satellite information to pinpoint your position. That's why NavVis has developed our own technology to locate users inside buildings using the visual information provided by their phone's camera. Positioning services are available for indoor sites or building complexes mapped with NavVis technology.
NavVis Positioning provides visual 6D positioning in IVION by matching one or more query images against the mapped environment. Based on this visual comparison, the system estimates the 3D position and orientation of the camera relative to the existing site data.
To use the tracking feature, a license for Visual Positioning and Visual Index creation (available in IVION Professional and IVION Enterprise) is necessary. For further questions, please contact your CSM for support.
