Navelo
Product Design, PrototypingNavelo is a built-in e-ink onboard navigation system for dockless bike-share bicycles such as Ofo, Spin, and LimeBike. Navelo is designed to provides riders a safer, more efficient, and convenient trip to their intended destination.
Approach
Hypothetical scenario: A recent manufacturing innovation means that the square-inch cost of e-ink will plummet. How can we create a desirable use of this innovation, in any environment, for any user, or any form factor?
Over the course of four days, my team and I researched, ideated, and generated concepts for how to leverage the hypothetical e-ink innovation to improve public bicycle transit.

To use Navelo, the rider simply enters the desired destination upon unlocking the bike as they normally would, using a smartphone. The rider will then be able to choose the desired bicycle-friendly route and follow the chosen route using the handlebar mounted e-ink display.
