Nokia Indoor Positioning promoted on video, looks cool

15 April, 2011
Back in 2010 at Nokia World in London, the Nokia Research Centre demonstrated a neat concept of navigating indoors. Now, there's a new version of the system and Nokia has put up a video promoting it...

Bad commercial aside, this is why I love Nokia. Iv'e used android extensively and apart from HTC's "Sense", it continues to frustrate the crap out of me.

              Another innovation by Nokia! I'm really impressed and I'm sure it's going to be another must have feature. I expect Android to copy this and produce another half-baked implementation like they always do. Start your photocoppiers Android!

                    This kind of system is, actually, old news. Try googling "active bat" and you'll recognize it immediately. It's been done since around 2000 but the fact that you need to wear a tag is a turn-off. If Nokia can manage to fool enough people into thinking this is cool, it might have a slight chance, but, realistically speaking, it's a dead end. And I'm not talking out of my a**... I'm currently finishing a PhD about positioning technologies, so I'm familiar with this and I'm really not impressed.

                        Get your facts right, Ericsson invented bluetooth and was also behind Symbian, long before Nokia.
                        As for the color displays, i dont think that anyone beats T68 in Europe,
                        but Europe was a year behind, at least, since the day the Asian market already had color displays.

                        Nokia was always good at advertising and milking, they always copied and improved/adapted tech, not actually create...
                        This is the reason they have lost the ball in the latest years, now tech matters way much more than brand name and they cant afford to stay one year after their competitors and rely on their name, as they have always had.

                        Hopefully they will start investing some of all that profit they made all those years now and present us more gadgets like this one!

                            i've heard about this a year ago in nokia podcast. It sounds promising and totally useful.
                            All those who said nokia is dead, please raise your hands.

                                Not practical anyway, you need those "indicator" in every building that you wanna apply it. Troublesome and costly.
