As cute as this is, this app has somewhat inspired my idea for the maps & journeys project (along with Janet Cardiff's work). Instead of just giving a paper map to people who visit the aquarium, a smartphone app directs visitor around the aquarium, giving them directions using penguins! Not only is this highly entertaining, but it shows how technology can be use to instruct as well as engage an audience.
Even though I will not be using penguins in my project |(unfortunately), this was defiantly interesting to look into, and use as part of my research for this module.
