This manuscript introduces an indoor navigation system that uses signpost metaphor. A signpost is usually installed at each fork of a path and tells people which fork they should take. Our system locates the user’s position by reading visual markers, which represent signposts. After that, it retrieves floor maps from the database and allows the user to turn around seeing labels from the perspective of the user’s position, which are overlaid on the real world. It also navigates the user’s way not only at the signpost but also between signposts by allowing the user to move around in the corresponding virtual world. From an experiment in usability, our system demonstrated good results for indoor navigation.
