HELSINKI, Finland – Indoor positioning, and the contextual services that can be strapped to it, is something that has gripped our attention since word of this innovative development broke outside the walls of the Nokia Research Center back in April 2008 (read our very first story to mention indoor positioning). Since then the buzz around indoor positioning has increased (aided by the excitement around technologies such as the Nokia Locate Sensor), and has recently galvanized through live real-world trials – the latest being the second phase of a trial that’s currently taking place at the Kamppi Shopping Center in Helsinki, Finland.

Read on to find out more about what’s going on with Nokia’s indoor positioning research and development after the break.

Nokia Locate Sensor video and trials

HELSINKI, Finland – Nokia Locate Sensor has rapidly established itself as one of the most talked-about developments in the mobile realm. We’ve been lucky enough to get hold of a new video from the Nokia Research Center showcasing indoor positioning and Nokia Locate Sensor in action, as well as get info on the trials that are being currently being carried out.

Indoor positioning and more info on Nokia Locate Sensor

GLOBAL – Nokia Locate Sensor sparked a surge of worldwide interest, and indoor positioning obviously plays a vital role in the development of this hot concept.

Since we brought you word of the Nokia Research Center refreshing its website and more clearly connecting the dots between Nokia concepts and real-life products and services last week, NRC has released an interesting new paper on Location, Context and mobile services. Granted it’s not super in-depth, nonetheless it does touch on some interesting aspects of NRC’s plans in this crucial area of development, including a few much talked about projects including Nokia Point&Find, but also mentions lesser known developments such as the Nokoscope project (which we’ll talk about in a separate post this week), and also offers more information on NRC’s approach to indoor positioning, indirectly yet pertinently referring to Nokia Locate Sensor and the technology behind it.
