Navigio is an augmented reality (AR) mobile application that helps users navigate enclosed spaces such as museums, parks, and shopping malls. Using GPS-enabled navigation and markers, the app provides a convenient way to find locations and routes. The application provides additional contextual information about the objects of the location, and also helps to navigate easily in unfamiliar places thanks to convenient navigation and an intuitive interface.
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes virtual elements (images, text, or objects) onto the real world. This is achieved using devices such as smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses.
