Pip is a new kind of social network, going beyond the wall and beyond the timeline to improve the way people live and communicate. Through combining elements of social media, geocaching, and augmented reality, users can leave their content in real places for real people to interact with and appreciate. Some considerations: Pip is an augmented reality geolocation application which places significant demands on your device. For example, your device’s camera takes time to pass exposure and focus control to Pip. Please give your device’s camera a moment to catch up. Likewise, Pip is reliant on the location services provided by your device. Waiting for your device to locate itself to within 10 meters (five meters is best) will provide optimal results. Current devices are rarely able to pinpoint their location accurately in buildings. Finally, your device’s cellular signal strength will dictate how quickly your Pips are saved and retrieved. Try Pip. Have fun and let us know how we can improve Pip: info@pipme.com.
