YOUR PIGEON

IDEA

How can a pigeon find its way back without using an internet connection and sharing privacy vulnerable information? The pigeon produces proteins that can act like a compass. The pigeon uses the compass to navigate back.

Since most mobile devices have a build-in compass, the idea arose to create a mobile pigeon that can help us find our way back.

Requirements:

• Navigate to a location without relying on an internet connection
• Navigate to a location without sharing privacy vulnerable information

AT THE FESTIVAL

You arrive as the first person on the festival and pick the best spot for your tent in the middle of the camping site. After a good evening or partying your return to the camping around 2 AM. The camping is packed with small similar tents. Fortunately you saved the location of your tent with YourPigeon. YourPigeon shows you the way to your tent!

IN THE FORREST

On a nice Sunday morning you decide to go for a walk in the forrest. You parked you car and start walking. The sound of the wind through the leaves makes you feel very relaxed. Until the moment you find out you totally lost track of where you are. Fortunately you save the location of your car in YourPigeon. YourPigeon shows you the way back to your car!

FINDING A FRIEND

You are at the same festival as explained in 'THE FESTIVAL' case. That same evening you meet new friends. You decide to have breakfast together at your tent the next morning. But how on earth are they going to find your tent? Well, since you saved the location of your tent in YourPigeon you simple share your location with your new friend using the QR code. Now your friend can uses YourPigeon to find your tent. No internet needed! No exchange of any personal information needed!

ANOTHER FUNNY FEATURE

There is another thing you can doe with YourPigeon. At Cape of Good Hope in South Afrika there is the direction pole showing you how far away you are from large cities around the world.
