Imagine a magical compass pointing to your favorite celebrity like a regular compass pointing to the North. Of, if you will, more akin to Jack Sparrow’s pirate compass that’s always pointing to the thing he wants most in the world. Honestly, it’s pretty awesome. It’s called “Celebrity Compass” and you can get it for $1.99 from the App Store.
Celebrity Compass is a one-of-a-kind, smart, little app invented to show the direction and distance to beloved celebrities for their true fans. It includes popstars like Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber; actors such as Angelina Jolie and Ashton Kucther and sport personalities like Tiger Woods or David Beckham. And last, but certainly not least, VIPs like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. The top 25 celebrities at the moment.
How could it possibly work? Instead of attaching a GPS anklet to all the top celebrities, there is a system scanning all the up-to-date information on-line – such as blog posts, tweets, status updates, social events and verified celebrity spotting – in order to produce the most accurate location of each and every celebrity on the Celebrity Compass.
From a design perspective, Celebrity Compass employs the same glittering motif seen all over Hollywood, but beholding the compass’ might be worth the $1.99 alone (to share a developer insight, the hardest step was not creating the celebrity tracking system, but to acquire world rights to the included celebrity imagery).
From this point forward, all anyone has to do is take a quick glance at their iPhone to know if they are close to a celebrity. With Celebrity Compass, following celebrities gets a whole new meaning.
