A group project for a design compition, The Horizon Project is a concept for an interactive module that helps guides tourists around the city. These "pods" are filled with useful information, maps and reviews of places around the city inputted via a 3rd party app. The modules are palced in areas to take advantage of the unique system that displays the horizon and highlights points on interest on a touch screen interface. The pod can be turned 360 degrees in order for the user to aquire information of highlighted areas in the city, such as distance, a five star rating and related attractions.
Blue foam models of the "pods" form.
Illustration of how the concept works, located on Carlton Hill, Edinburgh, Scotland.
