Award-winning design

History of digital wayfinding
In 2003, Abuzz were selected to develop electronic directories for Westfield in Sydney, Australia. The innovations Abuzz developed were world firsts including:
- Shortest route to destination
- Heads up map orientation
- Animated paths
- Centralised administration
- User interaction reporting
The user experience was completely unique and original. These systems proved to be very reliable, so much so that they performed flawlessly for 7 years before the centre upgraded to Abuzz’s current large-format hardware and highly evolved software solution.
Recent Australian and international awards won by Abuzz include an Australian Good Design Award for the Flint Directory and a Singapore Good Design Award for the ION Orchard Wayfinder project.
