Abstract

The online car-hailing services have gained great popularity all over the world. It is important for online car-hailing services to effectively guide passengers to their pickup points, which can save path finding time and improve the overall user experiences. In this paper, we present an immersive navigation system to guide passengers from any indoor position to the pickup point. During navigation, the system supports realistic rendering guidance elements into the physical world with Augmented Reality. The system has been deployed in a commercial application on common mobile phones and has served over thousands of passengers.
