Indoor positioning systems (IPS) is a term confined to indoor positioning presented on mobile/cell phones, or the like, to create added value services.
For example, the derivatives of smart phones taking the form of glasses or eyepieces will have the ability to superimpose all manner of information across the items being viewed.
For example, thanks to the work of US companies APX Labs, Vuzix and others, a service engineer might see “preventative maintenance due now” superimposed on their view of a machine in a factory.
