Guidance between tagged waypoints
NavigateX was built for Facebook Hackathon Poland 2018 around an RFID-assisted smart-shoe navigation concept. A user searches for a destination, waits for a detected waypoint, and follows the next directional instruction.
The Android client shows forward, left, right, and back prompts, uses the step-counter sensor to estimate progress, and speaks instructions through Android Text-to-Speech.
Where the pieces meet
The documented system combines tagged waypoints, an RFID reader, a navigation backend, and the Android app. Historical HTTP endpoints supply destinations, route information, and the most recent detected step.
Archival status
The repository is an archival mirror retaining the original authors and history. Its Android toolchain and backend configuration have not been modernized for production.
The walkthrough here explains the client flow; it is not an Android emulator or an operating navigation aid. Original-screen recordings and a synthetic waypoint replay are appropriate next additions, without exposing real location data.
