MapMe

I am not sure there are many WiFi positioning systems running on browsers. MapMe is a signed applet that positions EPFL WiFi enabled notebook owner on the campus.

It runs on many types of hardware with the typical operating systems (WinXP, MacOSX or Linux) having Java 1.3 (or higher) enabled Web browser. It is uniquely meant to be used on the EPFL campus. MapMe uses some parts of Place Lab (mainly the native code scanning the WiFi cards) and the reuse of my own EPFL-WiFi-positioning classes. My plan is to use have the applet communicate the positioning informations to web application via LiveConnect. It could therefore be integrated into the EPFL map service. Yet another pet project…
