Because GPS doesn't know which way I'm facing, or which hallway I'm in. Indoors precision is pretty bad, and location beacons are mediocre at best in their present state.
The sign, on the other hand, knows which way it's mounted, so it can always direct me with a useful arrow.
- robocat 4y agoThe answer is augmented reality, although I’m not sure what the question is. So many times I have found signage in terminals confusing, frustrating given they must cost $$. Arrows on signs can be really confusing (up right arrow means foreword right or up the escalator to the right?). Sometimes they are just missing (which way is gate A60), or outdated (terminals are permanently changing).
