Indoor Location Services
During my second co-op at Sheridan College, my duties were to research various wireless communication technologies, and determine which technology would be best suited to provide an indoor location service. After conducting some research I recommended using Bluetooth, due to the high availability of low cost Bluetooth beacons. I then began developing the indoor location service on Android, using the Bluetooth beacons as anchor points and trilateration to determine the device's position, as well as researching and recommending other positioning methods we might look into in the future.
Through this project I learned much about how location services work (such as GPS). I also learned about Bluetooth and refined my Android development skills further.
