LittleThumb, pedestrian guide app for iPhone and iPad

LittleThumb is the Hop-o-My-Thumb of the 21st century with which you are never lost. In the blink of an eye the application downloads the map of the site, locates you and displays your position on the screen. For this to work you must be in a mapped site equipped with StoneTags, easily recognizable by their specific logo. Just scan the QRcode of a tag using the LittleThumb application to load the map and display your position. Then, simply choose a destination in the directory and follow the route by guiding you in the right direction with the small steps displayed on the screen - they rotate and change color depending on your current orientation -. And if you lose your way, LittleThumb is always there. Just scan the closest StoneTag to immediately obtain a new route to your destination.

The application comes with a demonstration plan of the Sorbonne in Paris, in the heart of the Latin area. This plan is inspired by the original layout of the "New" Sorbonne built in 1903 and does not represent the current configuration.
