I find this peice to be very interesting. you just seem to want to play with it. you can move it alaround with left button, then slice it with the right button, or even slice and move the peice that you just sliced off. the interaction on this peice is just wonderful.
The use of changing gravity, helps when things are getting out of hand. it offers some sort of a control, but interacts at the same time.

research of google maps.

This research is very essential for my project.

to see were you going shows the birds eye view of the area. giving a wire frame of the area.

also has how you are going to search up of trying to find your destination.

This also shows the concept of following a path once created from your destination to that of the destination you have just searched

Giving distance and how long it will take to get tere is also a great feature.

Boat sonar

I like the use of sonar, espically in submarines. the sonar travelling through the water and reflecting off the surfaces until it hits something else in the water and rebounding back to its postion.

This is really helpful as it also gives an estimation of how far away something is and time destination to get in range, or to a point.

I like the use of sonar that the bat uses to identify where it is going.  This will be useful in trying to incorporate in looking out for something specific eg a room/destination.
