Nokia's Kamppi Trial succeeds at indoor positioning, gets shelved anyway (video)

Sure, GPS crapper intend you to the mall, but crapper it line you from the Bon Ton downbound to Penney's? Not so much. Indoor guidance is ease mostly a paper transpose reliant affair, something Nokia attempted to do away with at the Kamppi Shopping Center in Helsinki. The service, also titled Kamppi, relied on wireless LAN to function grouping within the complex, message anyone with an S60 phone with WiFi could simply feeding to kamppi.nokia.mobi, wager their underway position, post their friends, and encounter their artefact around as shown after the break. 15,000 grouping tried it out successfully over the season and so the assist is receiving a run send-off: it's been "archived." Nokia is pledging to use the school in forthcoming products, but we wait to be reliant on those giant, obelisk-mounted maps for some eld to come.
