How does one orient oneself while biking, for example as a tourist? You certainly will read traffic signs, ask people for direction or use a tourist-map. But at least the last example will force you to stop the bike. How could we provide a navigation, where the flow remains undisturbed?
The user will need a very unimposing feedback where to go.
Punkt.Fizn is an Android and Arduino powered bike navigation system. Unlike most navigation systems we didn't focus on a display. Instead directions will be given only through vibrations in the handlebars. Riding a bike with Punkt.Fizn is like knowing your way already.
