Smart Campus with Indoor GIS

ETH also has its university campus as a digital twin or smart campus. A geographic information system for the outdoor environment as well as indoor spaces (indoor GIS) enables users to visualize, analyse, and manage all data relating to the campus and its facilities in one place.

The indoor positioning system in combination with indoor tracking enables the visualization of the user's live position within the facility as a blue dot on the mobile map. Knowing the exact location helps users to immediately understand their surroundings and know where to go. Selecting a destination on the map gives the user the fastest/accessible route with turn-by-turn directions to guide them. Monitoring the blue dot helps them stay on the right path and navigate to their destination in real-time.
