Indoor AR navigation using tilesets

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the methodology and findings of creating an augmented reality navigation app that uses tilesets to create the navigation. It illustrates the method in which the app was created - using vector data and uploading it to MapBox, then accessing that data in Unity through the MapBox API and map editor and then overlaying the camera input with the navigation path layer. The application was tested by creating multiple arbitrary navigation scenarios and checking them for various factors. The main finding of this research is that this navigation solution works better than GPS indoor navigation.
