Here's an interesting iPhone app developed by Comma Press...
Gimbal
offers a new way of 'reading the city'. Choose a city - anywhere in the world -
and be transported to it by its fiction. Traverse its precincts. Map your way
through its quarters or arrondissements. The Gimbal navigates as it narrates.
With it you can travel by train, tram, metro, bus or indeed on foot,
experiencing each new landscape through the eyes of a fictional character.
Designed
with the commuter in mind, the Gimbal enables you to escape the tedium of your
everyday 'known journey' and take an alternative route, a more scenic,
imaginary one across the face of an unknown city. Choose a story according to
the city you wish to visit, or the length of time you have to spare, and the
listen function will lead you across an interactive map of that city
accompanied by an audio reading.
