The Talking Lights System is an easy and cost-effective way to achieve GPS-like position identification and guidance indoors, where GPS can’t operate. Because the system uses a building’s existing illumination infrastructure, it’s economical easy to install and easy to use.

Promising applications for Talking Lights Context-Aware Systems include:

• monitoring, guiding and supporting the cognitively disabled, including people with traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
• enhancing security systems, including medical data systems and industrial security systems.
• offering guidance and information to shoppers in retail facilities and visitors in museums and trade shows.
• compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, including installations for people who are blind, deaf or hard of hearing.
• guiding soldiers and vehicles along safe travel paths and identifying battlefield hazards under combat conditions.
• monitoring building energy use and fine-tuning HVAC systems for energy conservation.
