Although the display device used, Google Glass, had certain pitfalls such as short battery life, slow processing speed, and lower quality visual display but the tracking technology was able to complement these limitations by rendering a very efficient, precise, and intuitive navigation experience. The performance assessments, conducted on the basis of efficiency and accuracy, substantiated the utility of the device for everyday navigation scenarios, whereas a later conducted subjective evaluation of handheld and wearable devices also corroborated the wearable as the preferred device for indoor navigation.enThree-dimensional displaysVisualizationIndoor navigationGoogle glassSensorsTrackingAugmented realityHelmet mounted displaysIndoor navigationInteractive devices3D Environment ScanningWearable Head-Mounted DisplayIndoor Localization and NavigationMarkerless TrackingConference Paper
