On board: App is a departure from Foursquare layout

24 : 01 : 2012 Content : Cross Platform : Departures Board

Derby – Founder of cross-platform production company Mudlark Toby Barnes, has created a Foursquare app that works as a departures board, showing at a glance where people are.

The Arrivals app is designed to be in the corner of a screen, enabling people to focus on other tasks while receiving real-time updates on where friends are. The text is shown as a split flap display, like a railway station departures or arrivals board.

This kind of app is well placed in the Future Media Landscape where people multi-screen and skitter between apps and content.
