FLITTER
Background Story
This project aimed at cyclists living in the city. Indeed in the cities, cycling is a sustainable - healthy - quick & cheap means of transport. However, the challenge embodied by avoiding being lost plus choosing the optimal route often dissuades to use one's bike. This prevents at the same time the user to be delighted by a nice ride.
Design Solution
FLITTER is a navigation tool with a service system behind for cyclists. It composed by a FLITTERband & a web based community, which works on a two way information flow. The guidance occurs from the WiFi cloud to you; at the same time, you are also feeding the cloud. By gathering information from your journey, FLITTER helps you build your own maps. Simultaneously you take part in the dynamic up-dating of the general system. FLITTER remembers your route. It is automatically stored in your maps library. You can consult, load or edit them. You can also retrace the hotspots you actively tagged during your journey by pressing the single button. With FLITTER, never again will you get lost. Furthermore, you may get someone's tips for the nicer routes or shortcuts.
