Waymap's Tech, Explained
Waymap’s app is powered by new AI-based positioning algorithms that remove the need for GPS, BlueTooth, WiFi and even Mobile Data. We call this SmartStepTM
Phone sensors
deliver information 100x/second.
SmartStep™ uses the raw data from the phone's accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer. This data is fused using particle filtration, to deliver location and heading every second. Raw, unstructured data, is transformed using AI into the user's step length and direction.
"Context validator" does Map Matching
The user's location is constantly verified against features in the map. Walls, height change, doorways and other definite features of the map provide SmartStep™ with location "truth" points. This corrects for any statistical drift. Map matching is essential for maintaining accuracy across long journeys.
The app's routing layer establishes the
user’s path
The app generates the user's most efficient point from A to B, taking into account specific needs like step-free routing. Instructions are automatically constructed, based on the user's preferred style, and delivered step-by-step as the user navigates.
Visual Positioning as a secondary system
Waymap uses the camera on the phone, and machine learning techniques, to work out to centimetre-level accuracy, where the user is starting their journey when indoor. This is our proprietary Visual Positioning System (VPS).
SmartStep™
SmartStep™ is an advanced data fusion algorithm:
SmartStep™ doesn't require any other sources of location information:
