Guide-AR

Indoor Navigation Reimagined with Augmented Reality

Guide-AR is a spatial computing solution designed for seamless indoor navigation using augmented reality (AR). Built for Meta Quest 3 and mobile devices, it leverages real-time SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to deliver intuitive, hands-free navigation experiences.

🚀 Overview

Navigating indoor environments can be challenging without clear directions. Guide-AR solves this by overlaying real-time navigation cues directly into the user’s physical space using AR.

This project was developed as a senior project in Ankara, Turkey, focusing on combining spatial computing, computer vision, and XR technologies.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Environment Scanning The system scans indoor spaces using device sensors and cameras.

2. SLAM Localization Simultaneous Localization and Mapping determines the user’s position in real time.

3. Path Planning The system calculates optimal routes dynamically based on the generated indoor map.

4. AR Navigation Directions are rendered as augmented reality overlays for intuitive guidance.
