This is the app for anyone interested in experiencing high-accuracy indoor navigation. You need only a handful of iBeacons to use Accuware Indoors. You can set up your own "playground", where you can see the apps ability to pinpoint your phone or tablet. Setting up your very own evaluation site anywhere you want is done in three steps:
1.select the site and place your iBeacons in it
2.train the site
3.and the app is ready to pinpoint your location and display it as you move about.
Training requires defining a path through the site, and then walking that path from beginning to end without stopping, while the app scans ambient signals to build a data set. Augmented by the devices internal sensors, this data will enable estimating your devices position.
You may set up your evaluation site in an area where iBeacons are already deployed. Their placement may affect the location accuracy you experience, but if the signals are plentiful, it may be worth a try.
What is the ideal placement of the iBeacons? In a grid pattern, roughly 30 feet (10 meters) apart.
How do you train the site? Follow the instructions you will find on our support site (See Support URL).
FEATURES
• Edit mode lets you define the training path through the evaluation site.
• Training mode gives you the ability to train the site.

In summary: this app demonstrates the capabilities of Accuware Indoors to implement location-aware services for mobile apps. Services such as indoor navigation and wayfinding, device tracking, proximity actions and geo-fencing can be easily implemented with this technology.
Beyond setting up evaluation sites, Accuwares B2B customers can activate the apps full features, enabling them to define multiple levels, upload their own floor plans, as well as floor plan tile layers.
