Bence Bogar designed what could one day be the most advanced piece of free techology you can get your hands on. The MulTicket is a credit card sized all-in-wonder electronic device covered with a touchscreen LED grid called the MindPad. It functions as a personal tour guide that could also be used for payment, search and navigation.
Let’s say you’ve just walked into Disney World. You register your MulTicket securely via fingerprint and enter the gates. My but this place is huge. Your friends were here hours ago and it seems almost impossible to find them. They’re not answering their phones but fortunately your MulTicket can locate their MulTickets and give you icon based navigational instructions on the MindPad. While walking thru the park, the MulTicket gives you little snippets and tidbits of info regarding rides, food, and history about Disney World.
