JiXler is the fastest and easiest way to get information pertaining to the place you're in or about things nearby. It's extraordinarily quick and easy. No typing and search fields are not necessary. Just open JiXler on-the-go to find on-topic content. It's the right information at the right time in exactly the right place, …and includes optional links to websites and other social media content, only a click away. Typically, information is put in "The Cloud", where it can be found using various methods. JiXler is different. It's uses the new "AR Cloud": A super-fast, easy to use, ultra-smart AR driven search platform, that enables your phone to pair what's in our world, with what's online. That gives digital information a defined real-world place that can be seen by the JiXler Go app. Plus, JiXler is for everybody. It gives you and your friends the ability to create, position and control who sees digital messages made available to other JiXler users. You can physically attach images and links at any location, venue or event, that are then made available to other JiXler users at precisely the time they arrive in that same place. Or, search for the information using a map, if you're not on-location. PROXIMITY MARKETING FOR SMALL-BUSINESSES Social media inclusiveness gives small-businesses and organizations access to an audience equipped with a mobile capability to respond to their proximity marketing campaigns. - There is no need to build an app, - it takes a fraction of the time, - it's free and - there already is an audience. This game changer gives smaller organizations a leg-up on proximity marketing when they were not even contenders before.  HOW JIXLER IS DIFFERENT It all starts with a virtual geo-tagging object called a "JiX", loaded with online content that can be delivered to anyone, instantly, as they pass near it. JiXes pair online content to your natural environment, so information is thoughtfully sorted according to how you see and experience the world. "JiX" is a symbolic acronym for: J = Anchor, i = Information & X = Here (as in X marks the spot). A JiX is a virtual round cylinder that is placed over real-world objects that allows anyone to connect online content. This way, by attaching online content to the JiX, you are also attaching online content to an object or in a place. A Poke´Stop in Pokémon Go is similar to a JiX: Both augment reality by positioning virtual objects within our environment. However, in that a JiX is open-source, it contains any online content that its creator attaches to it, thus having endless possibilities for unlimited applications. You can - JiX a makeshift memorial on the side of the road to let others know what happened there. - JiX where you found a lost ring, whereby the owner can see that you found it. - Remember those fake parking violations? Next time, JiX that vehicle parked across 4 spaces. - JiX a nest of duck eggs and get a message and photos by others when they hatch. - JiX a home for sale, to let prospective buyers know all about it in only a few seconds. - And now, JiXler includes an Emergency Operations Mode. JiX yourself so others can save you. There are many new possibilities by using a JiX. See more at www.jixler.com.
