USing indoor maps is clunky and not a good user experience... indoor notifications and alerts though is the huge opp [11:10am] cmcclain: I used it in Ikea and works pretty well [11:12am] atanas joined the chat room. [11:12am] atanas: IKEA *wants* you to get lost int he store. As do many others. [11:12am] ajoidn: Indoor positioning as an immersive experience in museums is way awesome...
