Dandella
“Would someone please point me in the right direction?”
Dandella provides an intuitive way to navigate, and find directions by ‘pointing’ to the right way.
This device works with GPS enabled mobile phones to track physical locations. Dandella bends and points toward the targeted location. It can be programmed to track each other, for parent and child to locate one another. Alternatively, it can also be use to find a location base on a particular set of GPS coordinates determined by the user. By ‘going where it points’ users can instinctively find their way with Dandella.
Dandella exemplifies our research interest in simplifying technology, replacing complicated digital interfaces with possible physical interfaces that are more direct and intuitive. These physical interfaces draw inspirations from our daily behaviors like gestures, habits and emotional reactions.
This project received the Grand Prix from Osaka International Design Competition 2006.
