Project Ubicarse: Accurate Indoor Localization with Zero Startup Cost

Ubicarse project image
Despite extensive research over the past decade, indoor positioning has yet to gain widespread adoption. The main impediment is the enormous deployment effort; past systems either require new infrastructure, or extensive fingerprinting of the environment. Ubiety is an indoor positioning that requires neither; it is a standalone software that runs solely on a mobile device, yet achieves tens of cm accuracy. At Ubiety's core is a novel algorithm that intelligently maps wireless signals by a simple twist of a mobile device.
