- Additional information
- Large-scale inventory spaces such as libraries or supermarkets can be difficult to navigate, with maps and signage inconsistent, high-level and often out of date. We present a general technique for appropriating existing item barcodes to facilitate cheap, scalable indoor wayfinding. By developing a prototype for finding library books which uses other book barcodes as navigation markers, evaluated in a two-year longitudinal study, we provide implications for navigation around general pervasive inventories. Our unique general approach requires no additional infrastructure as it repurposes existing markers already in the environment.
