The ‘Peep-hole’ is a collection of new technologies that
combine to make a navigation interface that is both unique and engaging to use.
It consists of a magnetic ring, a Bluetooth headset and a contact lens that
holds a minute screen. When the ring is brought near the head, e.g. through the
iconic peep-hole gesture, it incites wireless power in the headset which in
turn activates the lens. Through the lens we can view a digital world built on
top of our own. We can see the steps we need to take, how long we have, what
shops are open and where our friends are all through the most direct point of
view any interface can offer; our own. The interface itself is traversed by
verbal commands, removing any need for awkward physical interaction. Almost
every aspect of the interface is customizable, from colour scheme to
information available, allowing for users to personalise their experience. A
trademark of the Peep-hole is the option to replace the directional arrows with
an intelligent avatar whose behaviour is altered by a range of available
themes. With the Peep-hole, getting from A to B is no longer a tedious effort
but an entertaining journey.
