Project description

NavAble is an indoor navigation system designed to make complex buildings easier and more accessible to navigate. Using real-time, adaptive routing and 3D mapping, it responds to both the environment and individual user needs, including mobility and cognitive differences. Features such as customized routes, estimated travel time, and safety tools help reduce stress and improve wayfinding in spaces like hospitals, campuses, and airports, where traditional signage often falls short.
