Spatial and geospatial systems

The NBCC Mobile First Technology initiative (MFTi) evaluates and designs mobile software systems that enable or leverage indoor or outdoor positioning. Completed projects include evaluation and design of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) approaches to indoor position estimation using Bluetooth Low Energy and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), the development of a general framework to support geospatial object management in mobile apps, and the development of mixed reality prototypes using the Microsoft HoloLens that address smart communities use cases.


Projects
