HOW DOES IT WORK? CommonAR uses augmented reality and facial recognition to overlay profiles of fellow attendees in your immediate space. Either flip the camera inwards and "take a selfie" with someone you just met or flip it outwards and scan around. For every attendee you encounter, match data will be populated by AI using both of your profiles. This way you can steer conversations in the most meaningful direction. You also get all their provided socials in one go for manual reference and to reach out after. WHY USE US? We help you create the most productive events possible. As everyone knows, gaining footing in a new room is difficult. This becomes especially difficult at networking events where you are met with strict time constraints, a desire to build many connections, and limited social cohesion/atmosphere. Networking events need a better cold start to reach the level of efficiency attendees desire. It is currently impossible to walk away from an event with 100 meaningful contacts and why exactly you should connect with them. That's where we come in. Instead of spending 30 minutes grasping at straws for conversation starters like the weather, we get people talking about things they have in common quickly. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Free for hosts. Free for users. Free for everybody. We plan to stay totally free while we expand our offerings in pursuit of accelerating meaningful in-person interaction. HOW DO I GET STARTED? Download the App. Create a new event on commonar.com. Share the event link with anyone you want to attend. That's it.
