Dandella provides an intuitive approach to
navigation by physically “pointing” towards
the designated direction and allowing users to
instinctively find their way.
Inspired by simple gestures of pointing and
daily behaviours associated with habit and
emotional responses, Dandella simplifies the
complex interface of current GPS devices. It
operates merely with the physical response of
bending and pointing when activated, so the
user simply needs to follow its gesture. Using GPS technology, Dandella can be programmed to track another of its kind and allows parent and child to locate one another. Alternatively, it works with GPS-enabled mobile phones to find a location based on a particular set of GPS coordinates determined by the user. |
