WIPS Site Launched

We have been super busy in the past couple of months building the infrastructure that will allow mobile application developers to bring location-based services indoors. As part of this effort, we have recently launched the WIPS site. WIPS, which stands for WiFi-based Indoor Positioning System, enables practical indoor localization, an essential requirement for the extension of mapping, navigation, tagging, social networking and tons more into indoor environments.

We will soon come up with an API and other development tools that will allow students, staff and faculty at the University of Toronto to play with this new technology, but in the meanwhile, feel free to drop by the site!
