Waldo is a suite of microservices based on indoor localization.

Helps improve indoor localization
Delivers accurate location data to first responders that existing mapping and location services cannot.

Provides a fully customizable application for events and venues
Enhances user experience through custom built interfaces tailored for each event.

Analytics for valuable insights
Provides unique insights about user behaviours and patterns.

Businesses Buy
Businesses can buy or product directly from us and get custom built interfaces for their users to access and enjoy. These can include museums, hackathons, concerts and conferences.

Businesses Sell
Our clients can choose to sell these interfaces to their users for a small fee, like in the case of a museum. Being a mobile application offers flexibility and computing power that over devices cannot.

Businesses Gain
We also deliver impactful data about user behaviour to our clients. These can help understand what times are peak hours, which sections of the 'event' are more popular and hundreds of others possibilities.

First Responders Too
In the case of an emergency, we can provide first responders critical information based on user's real-time information which can help in moments of life and death; for example, Waldo can help a fire chief better manage and understand a situation by receiving real time location data of all the people involved.

Waldo was built using Android Studio for the Android platform. The Waldo team surely plans on bringing Waldo to iOS. A picture of our tech stack is attached.

The Waldo team will be contacting museums & other businesses that could benefit from this and exploring testing Waldo in a real world environment.

To run the Android App, import the project into Android Studio and insert your Google Map API key and Navisens key. Also make sure to place the google-services.json (Firebase init file) in the app/ folder. To change the location, the latitude and longitude coordinates should be adjusted accordingly.

To run the Web App, make sure the Android App is running and update the Firebase information in the index.html file.

To run the Solace script, update the Firebase and Solace information in the Python file. Make sure to run: pip install paho-mqtt Note: this was tested using Python 3.7 I would also advise on using a virtualenv and make sure if you're on an enterprise network like a University network, that the Solace port is not blocked. If you have doubts, run the script on a VPN or using an external hotspot.
