Description NOMAD is an AI-powered hiking ecosystem designed to support exploration without pulling users out of the experience. Made up of a user-friendly mobile app and a discreet wearable pin, NOMAD enhances every stage of the hiking journey, from pre-hike preparation to on-trail guidance and post-hike reflection. Before the hike, users download an offline agent package tailored to their route, including scenic points, hazard alerts, terrain difficulty, and weather forecasts. On the trail, this offline data powers AR navigation and safety guidance, even without cell service. The wearable pin provides hands-free support through subtle vibrations and brief audio cues, helping users stay focused on their surroundings rather than a screen. NOMAD also adapts to individual hiking preferences, adjusting future suggestions based on behavior. After the hike, the system logs route data, highlights key moments, and generates personalized performance insights. Designed to feel more like a companion than a tool, NOMAD promotes safety, presence, and connection, allowing hikers to explore confidently while staying immersed in nature.
Innovation NOMAD reimagines outdoor navigation through a modular wearable and AI-powered system that minimizes screen dependency and supports immersive exploration. Unlike static GPS apps, NOMAD adapts intelligently by learning from trail conditions, weather, and user behavior—using a downloaded offline agent package prepared before each hike. This package includes route-specific insights such as scenic viewpoints, recent hazard reports, terrain difficulty, and community-shared updates. During the hike, the system provides offline AR navigation, ensuring users stay confidently on track even in remote areas with no service. The companion pin delivers real-time, hands-free feedback through subtle vibrations and short audio cues, guiding users through turns, waypoints, and upcoming changes. This approach removes the need to stop or look at a device, creating space for presence, reflection, and sensory awareness. NOMAD doesn’t just support exploration—it enhances it by quietly blending into the background and offering support only when needed.
Product Detail NOMAD’s companion pin is crafted for durability, comfort, and discretion. Its body is made from anodized aluminum and reinforced recycled polycarbonate, materials chosen for their lightweight and impact-resistant qualities, ideal for rugged outdoor use. A soft-touch matte coating improves grip, resists scratches, and feels natural when worn against skin or gear. Inside, the pin contains a low-energy haptic motor, micro-speaker, and a sealed lithium-polymer battery designed for extended, low-power use. The portless, weatherproof design is paired with MagSafe-style charging to provide effortless and secure recharging. NOMAD is purpose-built to handle tough terrain while remaining minimal, intuitive, and unobtrusive, enhancing the hiking experience without ever getting in the way.
