We invented Compass 3.0X to critique the AI hype and the blind pursuit of integrating AI into tools—especially in design—ironically, at a conference dedicated to AI in Design.

We delivered our talk as if we were an innovative tech startup, but eventually, we revealed the truth—discussing the concept of “vaporware” and why we believe we are already using Compass 3.0X. In reality, we rely on external influences for everyday decisions, from choosing a lunch menu to making life-altering choices like divorce.

Process

Inspiration : Luopan
The oldest precursors of the luopan are the 式; shì or 式盤; shìpán, meaning astrolabe or diviner's board—also sometimes called liuren astrolabes[5]—unearthed from tombs that date between 278 BCE and 209 BCE.
