A computer-implemented wayfinding system and method, wherein the system
includes an interconnected network of computer entities capable of
transmitting and receiving audio and visual outputs and inputs to users
in order to guide them through an environment. In one aspect of the
wayfinding system, a series of kiosks are interconnected, with at least
one kiosk being capable of printing a barcode that provides destination
information inputted by the user. The kiosks may be located at designated
locations of the environment, so that a user searching for his or her
destination may scan their barcode, and the kiosk will provide audio and
visual directions to the destination. The kiosks know their designated
locations in the environment, and thus, may provide the most direct route
to any other point in the environment.
