* Indoor Orienteering – 3D Navigation
Indoor orienteering represents an innovative and demanding discipline within the orienteering sport. In contrast to conventional outdoor formats, this event is conducted within multi-story buildings such as schools, shopping malls, or office complexes, creatively transforming these environments into intricate three-dimensional mazes.
The complexity of indoor orienteering stems from the necessity to rapidly and accurately establish one’s position and orientation while also efficiently selecting optimal routes between floors. Participants must sustain a high level of focus and demonstrate advanced map-reading abilities to locate control points in a dynamic and multifaceted indoor setting.
