UNA – University Navigation Assistant

About UNA

UNA began with a simple observation.

Knowing the building and room code does not necessarily mean you know how to reach the room.

UNA is being developed as a student-led innovation project exploring how verified data, digital navigation, accessibility and responsible technology can create a better campus experience.

Build → test → verify → learn → improve.

Responsible use of AI

AI may support development, design, testing, research and software generation. But physical navigation information must ultimately be grounded in evidence and human verification.

Development journey

Where UNA has been, and where it is going.

  1. Problem identified

    Students and visitors struggle to find exact rooms.

  2. Prototype built

    Web/PWA navigation prototype created.

  3. Technical testing

    Routing, search, accessibility and fallback architecture tested.

  4. Institutional learning

    Integration assumptions tested with university stakeholders.

  5. Field-data stage

    Buildings are surveyed and verified.

  6. User testing

    Real journeys tested with volunteers.

  7. Commercial validation

    Sponsorship and institutional models tested.

  8. Future

    Native mobile application and institutional pilots.
