Everything a map knows, placed where it is.
Every feature is built for see-through lenses first: anchored to the world and tracked with your head, never stuck in front of your eyes.

A see-through lime ribbon down your lane, with a guide arrow that always points the way to go and a mini map in the corner of the lens.

From WikipediaIndoor navigation
Map a store once. Everyone after you finds the peanut butter.
GPS doesn't work indoors, so the app uses the camera instead. The first person to walk a store builds its map, and everyone after them gets it.
Walk the aisles
Hold the phone up and walk. Every few steps it adds a point to the store's walkway map.
It reads the signs
It reads aisle signs, department signs and shelf price labels, on the phone itself. Each aisle, department and product gets its place on the map.
It saves to the cloud
The map and every product go up as you walk. Kroger-family stores also get Kroger's own aisle and shelf numbers.
The next shopper is guided
Open Indoor in that store and its map loads by itself. Search for something and follow the ribbon to the shelf.

What stays on your phone.
Reading happens on the phone
Signs, labels, people and sounds are recognized on the iPhone itself. The camera picture isn't sent anywhere to do it.
Sharing your view stays local
When you share your view for help, it streams only over the Wi-Fi you're on, only while it's switched on, and nothing is recorded.
Shared maps carry nothing about you
Store maps and shelf tags are shared so the next shopper can use them. They never include your name or where you've been.
