Shyn, developed by Epic Blue, is the world's first AI-driven wearable designed to enable precise 3D positioning in GPS-denied environments. This groundbreaking technology allows first responders (firefighters, police officers, security agents) to maintain accurate positioning even in the most demanding circumstances, such as burning buildings, underground parkings.
In emergency situations, accurate positioning is paramount to ensuring the safety and efficiency of first responders. Traditional Indoor Positioning Systems are often expensive and difficult to install and maintain and are therefore limited in their practicality in critical scenarios. Shyn’s technology combines AI, sensor fusion and multi-GNSS tracking, ensuring uninterrupted and precise 3D positioning in challenging environments where GPS signals may be denied or jammed.
In 2021 Digital Spaces Living Lab (DSLL) tested the Shyn sensor and Guardian app in two six-month large Living Lab trials. The first was with mountain guides and mountain rescuers in the Bulgarian mountains, and the second was in a GNSS denied indoor environment. Both the Guardian app (https://www.epic.blue/guardian) and the LLcloud multi-sensor platform (https://www.llcloud.eu/) were used in these tests. Recommendations for improvements of the Shyn sensor were made, based on the results of these trials.
