Personal Wayfinding and Interactive Navigation
Landmarc Research Center continues to define new approaches to accessible technology, including personal wayfinding and interactive navigation. These realtime, location-based services utilize the proven Intelligent AccessTM system. |
Announcement Captioning in Realtime
Landmarc is working with Delta Airlines Disability Working Group to develop personal captioning for travelers navigating air terminals. The wireless system runs on mobile devices, such as PDAs and smartphones, like the iPhone.
Travelers using the system receive gate information and public address anouncements in realtime, at the gate or in the terminal. Being able to support all their customers, with or without disabilities, by providing the information they need - when and where they need it most - can provide valuable returns on Delta's service investment. |

Interactive Exhibit Captioning
The Intelligent AccessTM system enriches visitor experiences at museums and aquariums, like the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration. Landmarc developed interactive exhibit captioning that functions in realtime, as visitors move through exhibits.
The Mystic Aquarium launched Landmarc's system in January 2009. Running on smartphones and other mobile devices like the iPod, the system currently supports video captions. Other features under development include exhibit-specific information (including text, images and audio) and automated tracking in support of wayfinding and gallery interpretation.

Improving Patient Experience
Landmarc is deploying a realtime location-based system to help patients at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA.
The check-in process can be particularly difficult for patients with limited mobility. The mobile technology developed by Landmarc is designed to make the process quicker and easier through automating the hospital admission services with the help of RFID technology.
Automated check-in will be tested during summer 2009, while later stages in the project will integrate indoor wayfinding into the wireless services for patients.
