What is a digital wayfinding system?
A digital wayfinding system helps people find destinations in a building or campus using directories, maps, and often a touchscreen. It is a kiosk and signage use case—not a separate product category—and it has to stay accurate when rooms, hours, or exhibits change.
Paper maps go stale. A digital directory can share the same collections and styles as other projects in a Space, so a name change on the third floor does not require reprinting.
Wayfinding often sits next to interpretation: a visitor center kiosk that both orients and tells a story. Multi-screen setups can pair a touch directory with a large you-are-here wall.
