industrial product designer clement dauchy has designed the ORION cycling navigation concept to provide cyclists with useful information at a glance. the device details statistics such as current incline and speed, along with providing satellite navigation for chosen routes. integrated with google maps, the ORION device clips on neatly between your bicycle handlebars to make sure you never get lost again.

using a display made of colored e-paper, surrounded by a ring of LED lights to show you which direction to turn, ORION’s user experience is simple yet effective. just follow the light bar to arrive at your destination, whilst deeper details show on the interior paper screen to help you make your ride as efficient as possible. whether there’s a hill coming up, or traffic ahead, the ORION device will let you know. the module comes encased in eco-friendly packaging and a paper pulp shell which folds back to reveal the product.
