Locus Labs
is a mobile development company that allows users to customize their apps with information on navigating and mapping indoors, through a program called LocusSDK. LocusSDK is the highest-fidelity indoor location platform available to help mobile users find almost anything indoors. The LocusSDK features the world’s most accurate and up-to-date indoor maps. Locus maps are pure vector, providing a high fidelity and fluid user experience. Developers at various companies can easily change colors themes to match their brand or app style and offer up dynamic animations. Large indoor spaces such as airports or shopping malls can be difficult to navigate and integrating LocusSDK into an airport or mall app service would greatly improve customer experience and ease.
The LocusSDK offers a multi-floor, inter-building navigation user interface and API to guide users between points-of-interest across various modes of transit, such as escalators, elevators, or indoor trams, along with estimated walking and travel times. The powerful search engine also allows users to find virtually anything inside and out. They can find points-of-interest based on the comprehensive database of products, services, and keywords. Real-time location data may also be anonymously crowd-sourced from users to provide context to your user network. This feature can be particularly useful for analytics, or estimating queue wait times at airports, streamlining operations, and many other applications.
