Universal Identifier Devices

Abstract

A device to make people more familiar with their surroundings. The operation consists of two modes. In the first mode, the position of the device will be indicated on a map showing the surrounding area. When the device is pointed at a building and the information button is pressed, information about the indicated building will be displayed. The second mode is a tour guide mode. In this mode, the position will be displayed as before, but whenever the device is within a specified radius from a building, the information about the building will be displayed. The position of the device will be determined with a GPS module and the orientation with a compass module. This data is decoded and compared to a shared memory network, determining what is at that position. All the information will be displayed on a VGA monitor.
