Шаблон:Unreferenced Шаблон:Infobox software 3D Wayfinder is an indoor wayfinding software and service used to help visitors to navigate in large public buildings (shopping centers, airports, train stations, hospitals, universities etc.)
3D Wayfinder uses a 3D floor plans of a building and renders it in real-time. It displays interactive information layers. Software can be used on interactive kiosks or as a mobile application.
3D Wayfinder enables users to visualize the shortest path from the user's position to the searched location. At the same time, users can zoom, rotate, and change floors on the building's 3D map. All the existing objects, like escalators, doors, elevators, trees, stairs, etc., can be included on the 3D floorplan. Displayed floor plans can be switched, and usually the roof of the building is also included on the 3D model of the building to provide a better understanding of the building and map direction.
