To locate where they are in the airport and find their way around, users scan the markers with a smartphone/tablet using Augmented Reality. An innovative and robust technology, which enables instant, simultaneous (up to 100 markers at a time) and accurate scanning, making it extremely practical for Persons with Reduced Mobility. While markers are static, their behaviour is dynamic and software-defined, making them a perfect addition to airport signage.
Marker technology is part of the ATIKA platform.

Autonomy for the visually impaired
Better accessibility for visually impaired people with reliable and accurate information. They can use the app on their smartphone and find the location of the markers with their camera, be guided to the location of the marker by sounds and listen to a recording of the information at that location.
Wayfinding
This complements the existing indoor positioning solutions on the market. These markers are placed in key locations and, when scanned, through the use of augmented reality, behave differently depending on the guest's destination.
On-demand information
MARKERS also provide enhanced multimedia information on the airport's points of interest. Through these markers, users obtain highly useful information about shops, restaurants, flights, etc. It can also be customised based on their destination.
