  title = {Multimodal Information Integration for Indoor Navigation Using a Smartphone},
  abstract = {We propose an accessible indoor navigation application. The solution integrates information of floor plans, Bluetooth beacons, Wi-Fi/cellular data connectivity, 2D/3D visual models, and user preferences. Hybrid models of interiors are created in a modeling stage with Wi-Fi/ cellular data connectivity, beacon signal strength, and a 3D spatial model. This data is collected, as the modeler walks through the building, and is mapped to the floor plan. Client-server architecture allows scaling to large areas by lazy-loading models according to beacon signals and/or adjacent region proximity. During the navigation stage, a user with the designed mobile app is localized within the floor plan, using visual, connectivity, and user preference data, along an optimal route to their destination. User interfaces for both modeling and navigation use visual, audio, and haptic feedback for targeted users. While the current pandemic event precludes our user study, we describe its design and preliminary results.},
