Navvis : Enabling Digital Value Creation Indoors

Marcus Bergsli

NavVis is a spin-off from the TU Munich and builds on the results of its own long-term research and development in the fields of robotics, computer vision, data visualization and sensor fusion. NavVis develops hardware and software for digitization and web-based visualization of interior spaces. The M3 Mapping Trolley allows customers to capture the centimeter-accurate and photoreal 3D mapping of buildings - in a fraction of the time required today and at much lower cost. Building on these detailed building data, NavVis offers a completely new technology for navigation in build-ings. This works like human navigation via image recognition and is therefore not dependent on additional and maintenance-intensive hardware (e.g., WiFi or beacons). The NavVis IndoorViewer allows the enrichment of the virtual environment with digital information and enables the integra-tion of site-specific services in interior spaces for a wide range of applications. The first public re-lease of the Navigation App (Technical University Munich Campus Maps) is now beta testing. The Campus Maps is the first app that incorporates our groundbreaking indoor positioning and naviga-tion technology. NavVis' customers include leading global automotive, manufacturing, transportation, retail and in-surance companies. NavVis products will be distributed among other things in building manage-ment, for visitor navigation as well as in logistics and planning / simulation. NavVis technology enables the digitization of space and space and is therefore a key building block for industry 4.0.
