CityGeni

Enabling Technology: The Foundation of CityGeni
CityGeni is more than a window to the world; it is a doorway through which users step into an experience powered by some of the most advanced technologies of our time. The platform's commitment to accessibility and discovery is underpinned by a suite of enabling technologies that facilitate an intuitive, seamless, and empowering user experience.

Indoor Mapping Excellence
At the forefront of CityGeni's technological arsenal is its state-of-the-art indoor mapping capability. Utilizing sophisticated and real-time data, CityGeni offers unparalleled detail, allowing users to navigate complex indoor environments with confidence. Indoor mapping with geospatial awareness is a transformative user experience that enhances a user's understanding and interaction with their surroundings.
This technology does more than guide users through indoor spaces; it provides a rich, contextual understanding of the environment. It integrates various layers of information to paint a complete picture of the indoor environment. Users can access detailed data about points of interest, such as stores, offices, or services within a building.

Wi-Fi Fingerprinting and Sensor Fusion Positioning Technology
Central to CityGeni's functionality is fusion of state of the art positioning technology, which enables users to pinpoint their location within a few meters. Wi-Fi fingerprinting technology utilizes the unique signal landscape of Wi-Fi networks within buildings. By mapping the signal strength of various Wi-Fi access points, CityGeni creates a "fingerprint" of the location. This digital imprint allows the app to accurately determine a user's position within a building by comparing real-time Wi-Fi signal readings against this pre-established database.
The beauty of Wi-Fi fingerprinting lies in its simplicity for the end user. As most modern indoor environments are equipped with Wi-Fi networks, CityGeni leverages this existing infrastructure to enable precise localization without the need for additional hardware installations. This not only simplifies the user experience but also reduces the barriers to entry for venue owners to join the CityGeni ecosystem. Ensuring the scalability to cover the entire city.
Incorporated sensor fusion technology by utilizing the standard sensors available on users' mobile devices, including step counters (pedometers), accelerometers, gyroscopes, and barometric pressure sensors. The data from these sensors were fused to enhance the accuracy, and robustness of the positioning.

Building-to-Building and Indoor-to-Outdoor Connectivity
CityGeni's indoor mapping technology seamlessly integrates building-to-building connectivities and bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor navigation, creating an interconnected web of navigable spaces. This integration is crucial for a cohesive experience, enabling users to move effortlessly from one environment to another. To facilitate smooth transitions between buildings, CityGeni incorporates a unified network of pathways and access points within its mapping system. This includes walkways, sky bridges, tunnels, and public transportation links that connect adjacent buildings or complexes. By doing so, users can plan their journey from one indoor space to another without needing to exit into the outdoor environment, which is particularly advantageous during extreme weather conditions or for individuals with accessibility needs.
