Aweigh is an open-source navigation technology that was designed not to rely on satellites. It is instead inspired by the mapping of celestial bodies and the polarized vision of insects. Ancient seafarers and desert ants alike use universally accessible skylight to organize, orient, and place themselves in the world. Aweigh aims to do the same by providing a series of products that allows each user to build their own off-grid navigation device. The project builds on current hacker culture to update the design of ubiquitous devices, with the goal of opening modern technologies to means of modification, dissemination, and self-determination.
