The wayfinding systems used in public spaces like airports and malls are mostly unchanged for decades as the incorporation of printed markers, arrows, and signs have become standard use for all navigation needs.the expansions of these basic systems to help people of various languages and disabilities is limited to printed material that is mostly static.

 

The goal was to create a wayfinding system that anyone can use, regardless of their language. The system needed to allow all people to navigate efficiently to a specific destination with little interference or complication due to the language that they speak or their cultural background.

 

The solution is Route. A wayfinding app that would be installed and created for a specific space, such as an airport, mall, or arena.The app allows the user to choose their language from the first screen, thus translating all other interactions into their spoken language and allowing the user to navigate to their desired location, such as a terminal, restaurant, or bathroom.
