Well \u2014 it does something different and provocative in the world of interaction design for the things we do when we&#8217;re going\/finding. The canon of interaction design for what were once fondly called &#8220;maps&#8221; is pretty stuck in the mud. Nothing extraordinary going on there that you wouldn&#8217;t expect from the next generation of mapping things.<\/p>\n<p>What we did with Drift Deck was look at the world a little sideways and imagine a world in which the map was a bit dynamic and the act of going\/finding was a bit less, you know \u2014\u00a0purposeful in a tedious, dogmatic sort of way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an otherworldly map app, if you will. Drift Deck is meant partly to be pragmatic for those times I find myself somewhere and have no idea what to do if I have an hour to wander about. (Sometimes we all need a bit of a start, or a script to follow.) And of course, it&#8217;s playful in it&#8217;s nod to the Situationists and their experiments with re-imagining urban space.<\/p>\n<p>The principles led directly from the Drift Deck: Analog Edition that you can <a href=\"http:\/\/nearfuturelaboratory.com\/projects\/drift-deck\/\">find here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/nearfuturelaboratory.com\/?s=drift+deck\">more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are the kinds of projects we do here. They&#8217;re not &#8220;Conceptual.&#8221; That cheapens the hard work that goes into them. We write code. We do illustrations of things that get properly printed on big Heidelberg presses. We put together electrical components and have printed circuit boards made and populated with parts to create new sorts of interaction rituals, new sorts of devices \u2014\u00a0new things that are different from the old things. These are ways of evolving the ordinary to make possibily otherworldly, extraordinary things. They come from ideas that we then evolve into material form so that the ideas can be held and dropped and switched up, on and off to be understood properly.<\/p>\n<p>So, just to be clear \u2014\u00a0Drift Deck isn&#8217;t a conceptual bit of wankery. It&#8217;s a thing that got made. Ideas turned into lines of code turned into compiled bytecode. Oh, look! It&#8217;s running on my iPhone!
