“…AR technology can capture the physical service environment into the mobile app, enabling users to navigate the relevant locations and service areas visually. Romli et al (2020) praised that this interactive function can enhance user experience, attracting users to use the app service and eventually visit the physical venue.…”

The demand for using library apps to search for information has been increasing after the COVID-19 outbreak. To look into how the pandemic affects the users’ perception of the loyalty of using library apps, we designed this research by amalgamating the updated IS success model and S–O-R model to evaluate the service quality of a public library app under the Hong Kong Government mobile applications initiative. A third-order model is established to demonstrate the multi-faceted aspects of service quality and mediating effects of perceived brand image, satisfaction, and e-word of mouth. Using structural equation modeling, data collected from Hong Kong, a metropolis where mobile services empower its citizens, showed the interrelationships among service quality and possible outcomes (i.e., perceived brand image, user satisfaction, e-word of mouth, and user loyalty). Findings also indicate that the influence of perceived service quality on user loyalty could only be achieved through perceived brand image and user satisfaction. This is a timely study during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the lockdown and social distancing arrangements created challenges for citizens to search for information in public libraries in person. Our findings and suggestions reiterate the importance of considering the usability concepts when analyzing the service quality of each unique app. They also provide insights for practitioners in developing the next generation of apps for smart public information services and call for further investigation into the proposed hierarchical model and other potential factors related to service quality.

“…Unlike marker-based methods, 2D image recognition-based methods search for pre-annotated objects, such as billboards, trademarks, and signs in the environment, and then determine the user’s location based on the obtained objects [ 5 , 6 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. With the development of image recognition technology, there is a trend for replacing marker-based navigation with image recognition-based navigation.…”

Due to the popularity of indoor positioning technology, indoor navigation applications have been deployed in large buildings, such as hospitals, airports, and train stations, to guide visitors to their destinations. A commonly-used user interface, shown on smartphones, is a 2D floor map with a route to the destination. The navigation instructions, such as turn left, turn right, and go straight, pop up on the screen when users come to an intersection. However, owing to the restrictions of a 2D navigation map, users may face mental pressure and get confused while they are making a connection between the real environment and the 2D navigation map before moving forward. For this reason, we developed ARBIN, an augmented reality-based navigation system, which posts navigation instructions on the screen of real-world environments for ease of use. Thus, there is no need for users to make a connection between the navigation instructions and the real-world environment. In order to evaluate the applicability of ARBIN, a series of experiments were conducted in the outpatient area of the National Taiwan University Hospital YunLin Branch, which is nearly 1800 m2, with 35 destinations and points of interests, such as a cardiovascular clinic, x-ray examination room, pharmacy, and so on. Four different types of smartphone were adopted for evaluation. Our results show that ARBIN can achieve 3 to 5 m accuracy, and provide users with correct instructions on their way to the destinations. ARBIN proved to be a practical solution for indoor navigation, especially for large buildings.

“…Indoor positioning technologies using QR codes or markers primarily show positioning results based on AR and develop and use various markers by themselves. Romli et al [16] used the Vuforia system to provide marker-based indoor navigation services in libraries. In this study, after registering photos of major locations in the library and AR objects corresponding to them in the system, the AR object guides the users when they project the registered photos.…”

A Hybrid Marker-Based Indoor Positioning System for Pedestrian Tracking in Subway Stations

The use of smartphones for accurate navigation in underground spaces, such as subway stations, poses several challenges. This is because it is difficult to obtain a sure estimate of user location due to the radio signal interference caused by the entry and exit of trains, the infrastructure of the subway station installation, and changes in the internal facility environment. This study uses quick response markers and augmented reality to solve these difficulties using an error correction method. Specifically, a hybrid marker-based indoor positioning system (HMIPS) which provides accurate and efficient user-tracking results is proposed. The HMIPS performs hybrid localization by using marker images as well as inertial measurement unit data from smartphones. It utilizes the Viterbi tracking algorithm to solve the problem of tracking accuracy degradation that may occur when inertial sensors are used by adopting a sensor error correction technique. In addition, as an integrated system, the HMIPS provides a tool to easily carry out all the steps necessary for positioning. The results of experiments conducted in a subway station environment confirm that the HMIPS provides accurate and practical navigation services. The proposed system is expected to be useful for indoor navigation, even in poor indoor positioning environments.
