Abstract:
This thesis is the result of a project whose objective is to develop and deploy a building’s evacuation system on Google Glass in case there is an emergency in the building. To do so, a server has been deployed in order to send the notifications to the linked devices should it exists the need to evacuate the building. The Google Glass’s user will be able to see the alert and to access the evacuation application afterwards. This server is composed of several modules that will work both for authenticating the server’s requests and the user’s device and for sending the notifications to the Google’s server for this later to forward it to the Google Glass. To continue, a Google Glass application has been developed. This application will allow the user to see the building plan along with its indoor location, and thanks to several navigation algorithms, the route to the nearest exit. Finally, we gathered the extracted conclusions plus some tests done to check the correct performance of the system
