Reimagining Maps Interfaces

Making navigation and interacting with places more delightfully natural

Overview

I am currently working on how we can reimagine maps interfaces to better respond to natural real world movements and the interface can directly reference and adapt based on the real world context of where we are right now.

I believe your devices should intelligently adapt depending on the context - whether you’re at a bus stop, train station, shopping mall, cafe or at work, and that maps interfaces are the closest we get to this relationship between physical and digital spaces.

I am also looking at how we can create more playful dynamic interfaces that completely transform depending on the utility needed as defined by your current location.

Real-World Elements

I am referencing real world elements like bus signposts, traffic lights, road work signs, tube graphics and others to pull in real world elements into interfaces to help with inherent understanding of functions that used to be done traditionally with the goal of helping us to better coexist between digital and physical spaces.

I believe there is a need for human first, better considered, more universally understandable systems and frameworks across public transport and services, and private spaces and commerce.
