Dérive is a concept developed by the Situationists, where one "drifts" through a city in an unplanned way subconsciously directed by the surrounding architecture and geography with the ultimate goal of encountering an entirely new and authentic experience.
The goal of this application is to facilitate this experience between an "adventurous" main user and their "curious" friends. The language used is friendly and sometimes whimsical, as well as the graphic design and color choices. Action buttons are consistently indicated in yellow. Visuals are used as necessary.
The main user and curious user's smartwatch experiences are largely the same. The only difference is that the curious user will be notified when the main user invites them. The dériveWatch will notify the user of any turns they need to make for how many blocks, their estimated time of arrival, and will even give information about the local area, such as local events or flora and fauna.
