Seeker is a physical device that is like a magical compass. It invokes a sense of exploration and presents a fuzzy direction instead of a typical map-based navigation. The anodized aluminium shell houses a high-end system including GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope. The motorized dial-pointer guides the way to a (secret) event location.

The destination is encoded in a chip that is attached to the bottom of the device. It does not dictate when to take a turn and just gives a general direction—motivating the user to explore.
