STMicroelectronics said the cross-industry cooperation overcomes the limitation of satellite navigation in indoor spaces.

CSR said that previous attempts at indoor navigation was labour-intensive as it relied heavily on indoor wi-fi and cellular technology which often resulted in inconsistent location data.

"Indoor navigation will make the interaction between people and their mobile devices simpler and more direct, opening a new era of smart consumer lifestyle.

The combination of our accurate indoor-navigation technology with the latest exhibition of Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei showcases the power of this innovation," said Patrick Boulaud, regional vice president, Analog, MEMS and Sensors, Greater China and South Asia Region, STMicroelectronics.

"The joint project with ST on indoor positioning and navigation integrates art with technology in a truly innovative manner," said Jui-Jen Shi, director, Museum of Contemporary Art. "The museum is dedicated to exploring new possibilities and establishing new values for contemporary art through closer cross-industry cooperation that encourages greater creative development in both domains."
