PROMENATOR
DESCRIPTION THIS IS A PROMENATOR. A SIMPLE THE-JOURNEY-IS-THE-REWARD DEVICE. IT MAY HELP YOU WITH YOUR STROLLOLOGY STUDIES – OR YOU CAN USE IT FOR A SUNDAY WALK.
INSTRUCTIONS USE PUSHBUTTON TO START PROMENADE: PUSH BUTTON (= RECORD AUDIO) UNTIL YOU HEAR A BEEP. LOOK AT LEDS ON FINGERS. THEY WILL GIVE YOU A DIRECTION. WALK.
WHEN YOU HEAR THE BEEP AGAIN, CHECK LEDS. THEY WILL GIVE YOU A NEW DIRECTION. CHANGE DIRECTION AT NEXT CROSSROADS OR STREET CORNER.
DO NOT PUSH BUTTON BECAUSE YOU‘RE NOT CONTENT WITH THE DIRECTION OFFERED. DO NOT EXPECT A THING.
DO NOT WORRY. GO.
QUESTIONS WHAT IF I HEAR THE BEEP BUT NO FINGER LED BLINKS? – END OF WALK. YOU MAY USE PUSHBUTTON AGAIN TO GET NEW DIRECTIONS. REPEAT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE.
WHAT IF LEDS SEND ME BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AGAIN AND SO FORTH? – DO IT. WALK.
WHAT IF I WANT TO LINGER FOR A WHILE? – THAT‘S FINE. IMAGINE YOU‘RE STILL FOLLOWING THE DIRECTION WITH THE SPEED OF 0 KM/H.
WHAT IF THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IN THE GIVEN DIRECTION, WHAT IF THERE IS A DEAD END? – END OF WALK. YOU MAY USE PUSHBUTTON AGAIN TO GET NEW DIRECTIONS. REPEAT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE.
WHAT IF THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT OR ETC.? – YOU CHOOSE.
WHAT IF I GET LOST? – YOU NEVER KNEW WHERE YOU WERE GOING. HOW COULD YOU GET LOST?
