MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051123 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Information Technology Design And Manufacturing, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, on April 22, for 'indoor navigation system using augmented reality and lidar sensors and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. K. Krishna Naik.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An indoor navigation system (100) using augmented reality and LiDAR is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a LiDAR sensing unit (102) configured to capture spatial information and generate point cloud data of an indoor environment; a processing and localization unit (104) that generates a three-dimensional digital twin from the point cloud data and performs real-time localization; an augmented reality module (106) that overlays virtual navigation elements onto a user's real-world view; a navigation and path planning engine (108) that computes optimal routes; and a user interface (110) enabling destination selection and real-time guidance. By integrating LiDAR-based spatial mapping with augmented reality visualization, the invention provides intuitive navigation guidance aligned with physical surroundings, reducing cognitive load and improving navigation efficiency in complex indoor environments such as hospitals, airports, and shopping malls."
