Navigation Interface

The project is to create a Navigation Interface to navigate Victoria University's Kelburn campus. This can either be based around an I-pod/Android application, or around a futuristic concept or technology.

Today's studio involved discussion about research and concepts. We need to create at least three concepts before Friday.

I am more inclined towards the futuristic technology, as well as remembering and incorporating some of the navigation technologies of our past and present, i.e. maps and speech.
One current idea is:

          A malleable material that is either folded or rolled up that when unfolded turns into an interactive map. This map will show where you are if you are at the Kelburn Campus. If you tell it where you would like to go it will form a direct route on it made from dashed lines and a red X which will mark the spot where your destination is. As you follow the route the red lines will disappear. If you venture away from the destination more red lines will appear.
