BKIN Wayfinding System
Homebrew'd Products, Physical, User Experience
July 2011
Bkin enables discovery, information and communication in remote places and public parks. A combination of solar power and low power consumption features such as E Ink allow the system to be installed without wires, and a wireless mesh feature allows information to be updated and distributed in areas without cell coverage. The simple interface nods to mobile consumer electronics, using gestural touch and a single hard key for quick actions like making an emergency call. A collaboration with Formant Studios.
