Momo is a haptic navigational device that requires only the sense of touch to guide a user. No maps, no text, no arrows, no lights. It sits on the palm of one’s hand and leans, vibrates and gravitates towards a preset location. Akin to someone pointing you in the right direction, there is no need to find your map, you simply follow as the device leans toward your destination. The possible user scenarios that can come out of this device range from treasure hunts to assistive technology for the forgetful. We currently have preprogrammed GPS coordinates of twelve NYC parks and use Momo as a tour guide. Detached from the map users are free to experience the city as they move with ease from one destination to the next at their own leisurely pace. Circumventing the map, Momo provides positive emotional experiences, enabling people to feel empowered in unfamiliar spaces. Visitors and residents alike can find themselves at play, discover new places, share secrets and meet each other as they move through the city with momo. Momo is comprised of a GPS module, digital compass, an arduino board, two servo motors and a vibration motor.
