    “HOW DOES IT…?
UM…
HOW DOES IT WORK?”
    13/40
    IT’S WAY FINDING…
    14/40
    “AWARENESS OF WHERE ONE IS LOCATED
…AND ASCERTAINING A PATH THROUGH 
AN ENVIRONMENT TO THE DESIRED 
DESTINATION.”
WAYFINDING
William R. Sherman, Alan B. Craig, in Understanding Virtual Reality (Second Edition), 2018
    15/40
    “IT’S CALLED WAYFINDING… IT’S NOT 
JUST SAILS AND KNOTS, IT’S SEEING 
WHERE YOU’RE GOING IN YOUR MIND. 
KNOWING WHERE YOU ARE BY KNOWING 
WHERE YOU’VE BEEN.”
Maui

    ARCHETYPE (NOUN)
archetype, (from Greek archetypos, “original pattern”), in literary 
criticism, a primordial image, character, or pattern of 
circumstances that recurs throughout literature and thought 
consistently enough to be considered a universal concept or 
situation.

The original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or 
copies : PROTOTYPE
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/archetype
    17/40
    “We use the term 
wayfinding to include all 
processes that allow 
humans and animals to 
orient themselves, 
including traveling over 
unknown or unmarked 
trails and paths.

x
Navigating is a more specific 
form of wayfinding that implies 
precise knowledge of where 
you are and where you are 
going.”
    19/40
    “The art of wayfinding 
involves adapting to 
variable and unexpected 
conditions …while
maintaining progress
towards the targeted 
islands.”

    MODERN WAYFINDING: COURSE STRATEGY AND DEPARTURE TIME
“Before a voyage by sail begins, the wayfinder designs an ideal course for reaching 
the destination from the starting point, given the capabilities of the vessel and the 
winds, currents, and weather conditions anticipated along the way. 
The course should represent the most efficient way of getting to the destination, 
given all the factors listed above. 
The wayfinder must also choose the right time to go (when the wind and weather 
conditions are the most favorable), taking into account the timing of the return 
voyage as well.”
