This paper presents a new perspective for the design of indoor navigation support. In
contrast to technology oriented approaches coming from Context Awareness research, we
argue for a wider focus that complements the technical question of providing precise indoor
location with the development of more effective navigation practices based on technology
available today. Starting from research on indoor navigation conducted with the Paris Fire
Brigade, we present two design concepts aimed at supporting firefighters in creating and …
