Augmenting Reality
summary
A prototype indoor wayfinding system for offices and stores built with ARKit, SceneKit and Swift aligns a digital floorplan to the real world using visual markers or saved world maps, then builds routes from placed waypoints using Dijkstra. The implementation adds occlusion so virtual arrows are hidden by walls and notes practical limits: GPS doesn’t work indoors, saved maps reliably cover about 7×7 meters, poor lighting and inertial drift cause tracking errors, and continuous AR use quickly drains battery.
