Team AR-row: An Indoor AR Navigation App (2019)
AR-row is an indoor AR navigation app that uses machine learning + SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to provide a reliable, high accuracy means of indoor navigation— along with auto-correction and auto-recalibration. Users can select a destination from a map, scan a marker to detect their current location, and follow AR arrows to their destination. To ensure safety while walking, the team included a compass mode that allows users to still view directional information while their phone is down.

T-Mobile FireSpace
Hernan F. Herrera Polanco, Marcus Choi, Natalia Stepanova
Our solution is a GPS tracking device that utilizes T-Mobile’s NB-IoT network and can switch to long range (LoRa) radio transmission in order to allow for data sharing in low to no coverage areas. The device pairs to a companion app via Bluetooth Low Energy in order show firefighter real-time locations on downloaded geospatial PDFs maps. The app features hazard marking and location tracking of all responders at a wildfire incident. The tracking devices allow for real-time sharing of inputted markers and personnel locations through use of cell coverage or LoRa.
