Over the years, navigation has become an essential part of our daily lives. The emergence of Augmented Reality (AR) technology has created new opportunities for improving the navigation experience. The current work focuses on the development of NavPES, a mobile navigation application designed to provide users with seamless and efficient navigation throughout the PES University campus, both indoors and outdoors. The application makes use of cutting-edge tools such as the ARway software development kit (SDK), Vuforia SDK, and Azure Spatial Anchors to enable accurate indoor localization and navigation using AR. NavPES features an interactive and self-explanatory Graphical User Interface (GUI) for users, allowing them to navigate around the campus with ease. The use of AR technology in navigation applications like NavPES contributes to the development of smart digital campuses.
