Build your living map with Auglinn, by dropping notes and questions outdoors, using AR. Using augmented reality, Auglinn revolutionizes how we connect with our surroundings by sharing these meanings. Imagine turning every street, park, and corner into a canvas where you can create living maps in which you share your stories, information, and ideas. Whether it's a favorite spot, a hidden gem, a gathering point, a story, a complaint, or a personal reminder, Auglinn transforms the physical world into a living history. All of this is possible by simply dropping a virtual box onto real locations. These boxes automatically appear on a map and can be seen publicly, by a private group, or only by yourself. In Auglinn, you can: - Create personal or professional interactive maps by leaving notes outdoors with AR (or via Auglinn Skyview, the web tool of Auglinn). - View requests or plans from communities organized around a topic about a place. - Explore interesting and useful information about nearby locations across various topics and interests (like locations of famous movie scenes, outdoor gyms, child-friendly restaurants, pet-friendly cafes, buildings with a story, best fishing spots etc.). - Collect favorite spots of your friends and influencers, and unearth hidden gems with exclusive maps curated by communities. - Discover ideas, suggestions, or feedback from communities about locations on a map. - Follow your favorite maps or share maps with others. - Take professional notes and conduct surveys about a site while you are outdoors. - Submit complaints and suggestions to your local government without the need to describe the address or attach a photo. - Answer questions from municipalities, universities, and companies about different locations, some of which may offer rewards. How you use it: DROP A NOTE (social or individual): Place a virtual note box outside. Your notes can be your ideas, stories, knowledge, suggestions, feedback, or just personal notes about a location. When you drop your box, the app automatically takes a photo, and you can add one more photo if you like. You can keep your note to yourself, or post it to 'Spaces' (different worlds created by others based on interests). You can choose a time for your note to expire as well. Once it expires, your note becomes visible only to yourself. Every space has a map. DROP A QUESTION: Place a virtual question box outside with your question and answer choices, and post it to a space. Municipalities and companies may use this as a remote survey, which can be used as a poll about a specific place (like the hygiene of a toilet or a queue in front of a store). CREATE SPACES: You can create your own space, which can be public, view-only, or private. Each space is a world. Your space is your world. Feel free to design your space the way you like, with the type of notes that you want! EXPLORE SPACES: Explore the spaces and the boxes nearby on a map or in augmented reality. Find boxes based on interests, share experiences, and engage with like-minded individuals. Some of the famous spaces are: - #World’sOldestCafes - #WherePresidentsAte - #EthicalRestaurants - #SpeakeasyBars - #Worldwar2-Munich Auglinn operates using GPS and is designed for outdoor use, as GPS functionality is optimized in outdoor environments. Today, Auglinn starts with notes and questions, the most basic form of a living will. Tomorrow, the possibilities are endless. Enrich your experiences and contribute to a living history that spans generations. The future of augmented reality is now, and Auglinn is your ticket to a world of immersive experiences. Why Auglinn? Because every corner has a story. Your story.
