2014 Proceeding
In our increasingly urbanized world, the World's population spends more and more time indoors. Indoor environments become our new natural habitat, and we conduct more and more activities enclosed by walls, moving vertically rather than horizontally, and without direct access to sunlight. Our activities are assisted by a range of sensors and human-machine interfaces that assist our senses and facilitate this transition.
The combination of such unnatural environments, novel technologies augmenting our interaction, and the ubiquitous connection to the internet results in an entirely new ecosystem with particular challenges to our spatial abilities, spatial interactions (between humans, machines and the built environment) and spatial needs.
The series of ACM Workshops on Indoor Spatial Awareness addresses these challenges and explores the cognitive and semantic challenges, positioning and data processing requirements and technological innovations needed to facilitate the smooth transition to this ecosystem.

Route directions generation using visible landmarks
The aim of this research is to investigate how to communicate route directions for wayfinding assistance in indoor environments including visible landmarks along the route. We propose an algorithm to automatically generate low level directions, as an ...
An interactive approach for deriving geometric network models in 3D indoor environments
Humans spend most of their life in indoor spaces. As indoor spaces are becoming increasingly complex, there are compelling needs for efficient indoor GIS and navigation systems. For indoor navigations, numerous geometric network models have been ...
Cognitively adequate topological robot localization and mapping
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a fundamental problem in the field of robotics which concerns mapping an environment or space while simultaneously localizing within this map. Given that one of the major goals of robotics is to perform ...
Indoor space subdivision for indoor navigation
There are a number of great attempts to develop an indoor navigation that provide the most optimal path and guidance. Finding a way in large buildings can be a challenging task. In order to represent the real situation to a maximum extent, a ...
Indoor navigation map for visually impaired people
Due to recent progress of geospatial and mobile technologies, it becomes available to provide geospatial information services to visually impaired people such as BlindSquare. In this demo paper, we present a prototype of voice indoor routing map service,...
INSAR: indoor navigation system using augmented reality
Indoor navigation applications for mobile devices are being more common and needed for people who want to find inside building destinations. Many indoor navigation applications utilize different technologies, such as Wi-Fi fingerprinting, have been ...
