INmap is a system that works as a topological map accessible trough/ by a mobile phone, and it applies to situations in witch displacement is associated to certain sequence of information. Public transport, a visit to an exhibition or a tourist tour are some of those situations...

It pretends to provide the minimum/necessary information in each circumstance, just in time and directly to the user.

INmap is inspired by Universal Design concepts - we’ll underline the aspects that show how it does contribute to increase de integration and autonomy of people that, by any reasons, depend on information to circulate and behave as a free citizen.

It works as a map of orientation and information, accessible by an interface like a mobile phone.

It stands on the selection and organization of topological data witch convert geographical information to text messages, easier to convert to “voice” - and so it is possible to communicate to blind, or visual impaired, old foreigner or illiterate people…

Once organized, those data are accessible by an interface-– following each group’s necessities in criteria’s configuration.

INmap system’s contents are:

Selection arganization of topological data, in order to simplify the representation of a 3 dimension reality (space) and reduce technical requirements to process those data; 

(To generate a topological structure a name is attributed to each point or entity; then the sequence of points forms lines, representing certain logical criteria. Several lines form a net witch represents that reality, organized by those criteria.
