About GlyphGuide
GPS transformed the way people navigate outdoors, yet most indoor environments remain digitally invisible. Whether visiting a hospital, attending a conference, shopping in a large retail store, or finding a seat at a sporting event, people still rely on static signs, printed maps, or asking for directions.
GlyphGuide was founded to change that.
GlyphGuide is developing technology that enables indoor spatial data to be created, used, and continuously updated by the people who use buildings every day.
We believe indoor spaces should be as easy to navigate, search, and tag as digital street maps.
By combining human movement, user observations, and crowdsourced contributions, GlyphGuide builds a continuously evolving map of the indoors that can support navigation, accessibility, robotics, digital twins, facility operations, emergency response, and future AI systems that need to understand indoor environments.
GlyphGuide combines smartphone sensing, computer vision, augmented reality, and crowdsourcing to create indoor spatial maps without requiring specialized infrastructure or building floorplans.
As people move through a building, label destinations, and confirm locations, the platform continuously learns and updates pathways, shopping item locations, and building features. Future versions will extend spatial guidance to AI-enabled smart glasses, providing intuitive, hands-free navigation.
GlyphGuide is a University of Colorado Denver spinout commercializing research in indoor spatial computing and navigation.
Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in civil engineering, architecture, augmented reality (AR), computer vision, software engineering, accessibility, and technology commercialization.
The company is led by Dr. Caroline Clevenger and Dr. Bing Han, professors at the University of Colorado Denver whose work focuses on the intersection of the built environment and emerging technologies.
