##Talks
#Damir Zambelli: "Indoor Wayfinding with the new Generation of Google Access Points"

Wi-Fi RTT allows the system and apps to “measure the distance to nearby RTT-capable Wi-Fi access points” with high precision (around 10 cm in Line-of-Sight). This feature was introduced in IEEE 802.11mc standard, and not so long ago, at I/O’18 Google announced that Android 9 Pie (API level 28) introduces support for indoor positioning by leveraging 802.11mc protocol. Navigine has demonstrated how it can help to get achieve submeter accuracy on Android devices. To demonstrate the opportunities of Wi-Fi RTT Navigine created testbed with 4 Google Wi-Fi access points which provide RTT measurements and Android Google Pixel 3a smartphone supporting Wi-Fi RTT. Testing was performed in restricted area of Navigine office with 9x11m size. The positioning engine is a particle filter combining Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), based on inertial sensors readings, and Wi-Fi RTT readings for correction.

Damir is Senior Business Development Manager at Navigine.

#Jessica Meier: "Gentrification Map"

The Geoteam of realxdata designed an approach to map gentrification - where is the process visable, where is potential. I want to present the method and data we used and discuss the result for the Top 7 cities of Germany.

#Hermann Schwarting: ""Multigraph" - Changing the way of visualizing reachability"

"Multigraph" is changing the way we think about visualizing reachability. Using the road network itself, the multigraph service calculates reachability to every node and edge, and exposes multiple methods for visualizing the results: nodes, edges, even “aggregated” as square or hexagonal grids.

##Aftershow
After the talks we will have the chance to chill a bit on the 20th/21st floor and welcome the autumn with a stunning view.

As we are at a new location this time, we would like to inform you, that the host might take some pictures and we hope you're fine with this. Furthermore we are looking for a pizza sponsor. Any contribution is highly appreciated and will be recognized.

Best regards,

Riccardo and Michael
