CONCEPT IDEA

Purpose and Applications of device

Imagine a device that when held up to the surrounding landscape, draws virtual information to its screen that directly super imposes onto what the user is seeing in their landscape. This can enable the user to directly follow visual cues to their destination, and be able to precisely identify what it is they are looking for.

While 2D maps might be suitable for those who have a natural sense of direction, or an aptitude for map reading, it can be quite difficult for lay users who are not able to read a map or simply don't have a natrural sence of orientation. It can also be difficult for them to identify specified landmarks that are often labeled with vague outlines.
