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.
