GIS has been a technical discipline developed since the 1960s, which developed rapidly in the 1980s and has been around for more than half a century. Traditional GIS and even most current map products focus on outdoor large-scale spaces, while the indoor spaces we contact most of the time every day are the "last 100 meters" and "last 10 meters" missing from most map products.
With the popularity of concepts such as metaverse and VR/AR, people have a new perception of indoor space digitalization. As an outpost of space digitalization, indoor maps play an irreplaceable role. Indoor maps are the foundation of micro fine-grained spatial computing, digital twins, and human-computer interaction, and the base for various application scenarios of indoor space digitalization. Indoor positioning is inseparable from indoor maps. According to the "2018 Analysis of the Development Prospects of Indoor Positioning" data, the direct market volume of indoor positioning in China has exceeded 300 billion yuan. With the development of IoT technology, IoT not only provides convenience for people's lives but also promotes the development of indoor maps.
In order to empower indoor space digitalization and accelerate the digital intelligence process of the indoor space industry, Smartcube has put forward implementation plans with practical actions. "Indoor Map System" as a map mini-program application specifically designed for indoor environments, it will become a new intelligent solution in life. Indoor maps provide users with positioning, navigation, search, query and other functions, realizing multi-user simultaneous access, multi-terminal interconnection and other functions, which is more in line with modern people's needs for connecting various information systems in indoor spaces.
Indoor Map System the characteristics of rapid construction of refined 3D scenes, supporting automated modeling tools, completely independent and controllable core technologies, and independently developed high-performance 3D map engine ZF3D. The ZF3D engine supports fast real-time rendering of large indoor scenes, supports 2D and 3D map integration, and can be compatible with PC, mobile, touch screen and other terminal devices, quickly realizing multi-terminal deployment, better suitable for application systems in different scenarios.
Technical leadership and comprehensive solutions have enabled Smartcube to quickly implement in the indoor map field. After multiple iterations and optimizations, the "Yixian Navigation" WeChat mini-program was successfully launched in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, greatly improving the medical experience of the general public, providing patients with efficient and convenient medical services, and the refined 3D map and precise indoor positioning technology solved the pain point of getting lost when seeing a doctor. Currently, according to relevant responsible persons, more implementation scenarios are being implemented.
Since its establishment, Smartcube has been deeply engaged in the indoor map field. After years of research and development, the company has mastered key core technologies such as data generation, map display, positioning and navigation, and has an independent intellectual property rights 3D indoor map engine, providing Smart Cube solutions for 3D indoor maps. Smartcube's mission has always been: to become a leading provider of 3D graphics technology solutions, letting national graphics technology enterprises stand proudly at the top of the world, and has a beautiful vision: "What you see is what you get", making the 3D world within reach.
Industry experts point out that indoor maps have great development potential at the current stage. They provide great convenience for people's lives, open up a brand-new marketing channel for businesses, and fill the gap in spatial informatization at the micro small scale. With the continuous development and popularization of indoor map technology, it is believed that it will be applied in more fields, better serving people's lives and work.
