We’ve seen so many crazy and bizarre timepieces from Yanko, but rarely have I seen other concept from them, especially such concept like this safety system for buildings. Designed by Mathieu Azema, the Compass Alert System will help you find your way to safety exit in case of emergency, in a building. Something like aeroplane’s in-flight guiding system on the floor. Except that this has a vocal guide too.

It is an illuminated guide for public buildings that should be placed regularly throughout structures so to point people in the direction of the nearest exit. This “Compass” illuminates in times of crisis using easy-to-read arrows and an audio play track that dictates escape instructions. Would be extremely useful and lifesaving under smoky environment.
