# Orient with the live floor map

## Description

Enable a user to open a floor map, locate themselves, identify coworkers and occupied seats, and pan or zoom to understand the surrounding workplace.

## User or operator problem

Users need a compact spatial reference for locating themselves, coworkers, and occupied seating.

## Expected value

Reduces disorientation and supports informed navigation and seating decisions.

## Scope

Includes current-floor geometry, local/coworker markers, seating state, occupant identity, pan, and cursor-centred zoom.

### Exclusions

- VR/controller navigation and generated-apartment review are excluded.

## Acceptance outcomes

- [ ] The map represents the current floor geometry.
- [ ] The local user and coworkers appear with distinguishable markers and names.
- [ ] Seats show available/occupied state and occupant identity at the supported zoom level.
- [ ] Pan and cursor-centred zoom retain usable orientation.

## Dependencies

- [3DARCH-FT-14 — Move through a collision-aware 3D workplace](./3darch-ft-14.md)

## Risks

- Map markers can become stale when presence or seating events are missed.

## Human approval

Linas approved this Feature for documentation on 2026-09-02T10:40:43.220Z. It is **not Approved for Solution** and has no implementation approval.

## Delivery status evidence

The Feature was separately registered at `IN_BACKLOG` as an accepted catalogue boundary. This records backlog retention, not design or delivery progress.

- Event: Catalogue registration
- Actor and authority: Linas — Human project team member
- Reason: The Feature catalogue was accepted for governed documentation and retained in the backlog.
- [Status evidence](https://discord.com/channels/1518726359512387766/1543925247361814568/1544658325738885201)

## Architecture traceability

- Requirements: none derived.
- Readiness: Not started.

Architecture solution work must not begin until a separate human **Approved for Solution** decision is recorded.
