For the inclusion of new objects and businesses, the possibility of free publication of information through an administrative module by an administrator is given. An opportunity has been created for voice, photo, video and VR presentation of objects, products and services, and the inclusion of information in the application is free. For users, the application displays all published objects, giving the user the opportunity to view them and make a selection of one or more.
