Description: Our Augmented Reality Travel Platform will enrich travelers’​ experience of destinations by providing on-demand audio tours and immersive experiences. Our vision is to democratize travel by utilizing the power of location-based immersive media. By embedding rich AUDIO narratives into the geography of travel destinations, all travelers can tap into the magic that is transmitted by expert guides. We often see travelers only skimming the surface when they visit places such as Kyoto that are immensely rich in heritage and culture. The tourist tracks are thronged with visitors, and many people leave thinking, “wow that was beautiful”…but not understanding the place enough to enhance the visual impact with the richness that can be conveyed by expert guides. Truly amazing guides can tell the story of a place in a way that really brings the magic to it, but the best guides are exclusive and only a small number of privileged travelers have the opportunity to experience a destination at this level. Most of us are trapped in the misconception that augmented reality is primarily a visual affair. Our eureka moment came when we realized that we could start building our augmented reality travel platform today with AR audio that could evolve over time alongside the emergence of smart glasses.
