ATRC, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Re: TAGIN!, AN INDOOR POINT-OF-INTEREST (POI) TAGGING APP September 9, 2009 Background Outdoor point-of-interest (POI) tagging, which enables users and service providers to digitally save a location's name, and other attributes, has become a corner-stone of commercial GPS products and services, as well as a useful outdoor navigation aid for people with visual impairments, however, it has not yet reached its full potential in indoor environments due to the poor performance of GPS in shaded environments. tagin! 0.5.2b release The Adaptive Technology Resource Centre at the University of Toronto, has developed "tagin!" an open-source WiFi-based indoor/outdoor POI tagging service with room-level accuracy that will allow private and public location-based products and services to enter still untapped indoor spaces, while providing the redundancy required to bridge with current, primarily outdoors, GPS-based products and services, seamlessly. tagin! is currently in a beta stage and available for evaluation as a firefox 3.5 extension at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13227 Planned features for future releases include: + Mobile versions of tagin! + Wayfinding features using mobile compass and accelerometer data + A tagin! API for 3rd-party application development + Automatic GPS coordinate retrieval and address lookup + Tag voting system for public moderation + User accounts and tags sharing We encourage you to try the tagin! Firefox extension and submit your feedback to s...@atrc.utoronto.ca or through the support pages at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tagin/support For additional information visit the project's page at: http://scyp.atrc.utoronto.ca/tagin and the FAQ at: http://scyp.atrc.utoronto.ca/tagin/tagin_faq To receive news on future releases, features and events please subscribe to our mailing list at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tagin-news Looking forward to your feedback!
