Nokia Building Wi-Fi Map
Per Tero Ojanperä, the Executive Vice President of Nokia Services, Nokia is well along in building its immersive environment for its phones, mixing data from sensors with the real world.
His key quotes in an interview at TechRadar:
“We acquired Navteq not just because they have great maps but because they know every object in the world and you need to be able to map co-ordinates into objects.”
Also noted in the article:
“Nokia is anonymously collecting information from phones equipped with both Wi-Fi and GPS. It hopes to build a huge, self-updating location database to use for indoor location fixes.”
