Veer

The last work I’m going to write about from the Royal Collage of Art MA show The Great Exhibition 2007.

Veer

A work from MA Industrial Design Engineering by Gail Knight called Veer (image above). Veer is a:

pedestrian navigation system, specifically designed for walking in London. Orientation through the capital can be a confusing and stressful activity. It is difficult to enjoy the sights of London when you have your eyes glued to a map. Veer does away these nuisances by implementing a simple system of vibrating rings. Worn one on each hand, Veer guides you to your destination, and in so doing, frees you to focus on the pleasures of travel while safely leading you by the hand.
