Huge respect to anybody who ships a product, even software. I have yet to use any indoor navigation or even have that offered, but it would be nice. Question is, is SLAM the correct term? I thought mapping meant like the device doesn't have any prior knowledge of the environment and is, well, mapping it. This more feels like sensor fusion with a kalman filter.
Sure, but my point was that just because something uses the same inputs and gets a similar output doesn't mean the processing is the same. This is just localization. Which is still impressive. But I'm not understanding there being any mapping going on.

The motion tracking system used by ARKit/ARCore is called SLAM, combination of sensors + camera data if available.
