The Brief

Wayfinder is a pendant for children that becomes a compass that points to their parent(s). The parent(s) can communicate with the device via text message.  

Due to the boom in electronics parents now have an unprecedented way to locate their children. But, children are still in the dark when it comes to finding their parents. For children who do not have a cellphone locating and communication with their parents is almost impossible. Wayfinder is the solution for this problem. Wayfinder is a pendant for children that contains an LED screen displaying arrows to direct the child to the parent. The parent can also communicate with the pendant via text message. They can change the display to an X or a heart with a single text. This device will be a large asset in child safety.
