A conceptual device uses GPS to help you find the people you want to meet.
Designer Hayeon Yoo's Compass Phone takes inspiration from a cell phone and a direction compass. It sports a GPS function that points its user in the direction of the person he wants to meet and also the time taken for them to meet. The device is encased in a wooden box and opens to reveal the compass.
