Key Takeaways

1. Unified Experience: Design a single, integrated map for seamless navigation across different spaces within a venue using ARway’s Creator Portal.

2. Accurate Navigation: Ensure precise map activation and alignment for each floor plan before integration. This avoids user confusion and frustration.

3. Smooth Transitions: Strategically place access points near connector pins, allowing users to easily switch between different levels of the venue map.

4. Optimized Scanning: Position QR codes approximately three meters from connector pins for optimal scanning and reliable map activation.

5. Enhanced Wayfinding: Utilize connector pins effectively at key entry/exit points (elevators, stairs) and create connections between similar features. Offer map-level previews for better route planning.

In today’s digital landscape, ARway stands as a beacon in the augmented reality (AR) space, particularly with its innovative venue maps. These maps are not just about navigating a space; they’re about creating an engaging, interactive experience for users. In this blog, we’ll delve into the best practices for designing venue maps with ARway, ensuring a seamless and enhanced navigation experience.

Creating a Unified Experience

The key to effective venue mapping lies in the integration of separate maps into a comprehensive one. This approach ensures a unified and smooth navigation experience across different spaces. ARway’s Creator Portal facilitates this process, allowing creators to design efficient venue maps that enhance the user’s journey.

Map Activation and Alignment

Map activation is crucial for accuracy and consistency. ARway creators are advised to activate individual floor plans before integration. Aligning these floor plans precisely is essential to maintain consistency across the venue map, enhancing the overall user experience.

Streamlining Transitions with Access Points

Strategic placement of access points near connector pins is vital. This setup streamlines transitions between maps and optimizes the user experience by enabling easy navigation between different levels.

Optimizing QR Code Positioning

QR codes should be placed approximately three meters from connector pins for optimal scanning without interference. This positioning is crucial for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the navigation system.

Enhancing Navigation with Connector Pins

Connector pins are a critical element in guiding visitors smoothly through map transitions. They should be installed at key entry and exit points, like elevators, stairs, bridges, and escalators.

Creating Connections

Efficient navigation also depends on how connector pins are used. Creating these connectors at entry/exit points for elevators, escalators, stairs, and bridges is fundamental. Grouping connectors for features like elevators ensures a cohesive experience.

Previewing Map Levels

Visitors benefit from being able to preview different levels of the venue map to plan their route before navigation. This feature adds an extra layer of user-friendliness to the ARway venue maps.

In conclusion, ARway’s venue maps are transforming how users interact with space. By following these best practices, creators can ensure that their maps are not just a tool for navigation but an integral part of an enhanced spatial experience.
