What are the common challenges in outdoor wayfinding?

Outdoor wayfinding often faces limited visibility, exposure to weather, outdated maps, and unclear signage. These challenges can confuse visitors, reduce satisfaction, and decrease efficiency in public spaces, campuses, and hospitals.

Why do traditional wayfinding solutions fail outdoors?

Traditional solutions often rely on static signs or printed maps, which can’t adapt to changes or provide real-time updates. Visitors may struggle to find their destination, especially in large or complex spaces.

How can technology improve outdoor navigation?

Interactive digital signage, AR-enabled maps, and real-time updates help overcome the limitations of traditional signage. These solutions provide clear, intuitive guidance and improve the visitor experience.

Eye-In includes accessibility filters (wheelchair routes, elevators vs. stairs, visual or audio guidance), ensuring every user can find their optimal path.

Built-In Communication & Engagement Tools

Beyond navigation, Eye-In wayfinding kiosks and apps can display announcements, events, advertising, and emergency alerts—turning your map into an interactive communication hub, not just a navigation tool.
