Instead of doling out money for an expensive travel group tour, Fans on Foot is a jewelry design concept that would take its wearer on a walking tour to spot all of the places in a city that are associated with a particular movie or TV show. For instance, fans of the Sopranos would get an alert if they're close to Elizabeth, New Jersey, where the infamous pork store is located.
In order to provide relevant notifications, the app is connected to Findery, a social network and location database that helps users share their locations with others. A prototype for the device incluides a camera, which is useful for sharing images and documenting your surroundings.
