NavFin
Smart swim fins with embedded navigation sensors that turn snorkeling and diving into a treasure-hunting navigation game.

The Wow Moment
You slip on the fins, open the app, and see a sextant overlay pointing toward a hidden sea turtle cleaning station 50 meters away. As you swim, the haptic feedback in the fins guides your path—left pulse, right pulse—until suddenly you're floating above a vibrant underwater ecosystem you would have missed completely, with your phone showing exactly what species you're seeing and its depth.
