Compass
Compass is a wearable designed to help the user navigate. It addresses the problem a traditional compass has by expanding the senses it influences. A traditional compass only addresses sight, Compass also addresses the sense of touch and hearing. When wearing this wearable for a longer period of time the subconscious of the brain takes the input of the wearable and merges it into the sense of direction, making the user subconscious aware of the direction he or she is heading. Compass uses a total of 80 magnetic actuators in combination with a sensor to make the magnetic north hearable, visible and feelable.
Due to the magnetic actuators the movements of the flaps is very organic. The flapping is somehow related to the movement of the wings of birds, who -as most people know- use magnetoception to navigate around the globe. The magnetic actuators in combination with the sensor create a perfect mapping between input and output.
