What is the easiest and quickest way to find out what is happening in town today, next week, or next month? What about events at your favorite local places, in a city you will be visiting, or, when out of town, and in need of directions, could use a visual sign to point you on the way? AUGVENTS offers the most straightforward method for discovering events across the nation, and when in the area augmented reality cues to guide you along the way.
Why Attending Social Events is Important
Social media promises intimacy, friendship, community. Social science suggests the opposite may be occurring. Rather than strengthening friendship ties and feelings of belonging, heavy use of social media appears to foster feelings of loneliness and social isolation.
AUGVENTS addresses this issue with a solution intended to coax people back into the world. The app makes it easier to explore, search, and discover both large- and small-venue events, no matter their location, along with mapping and augmented reality tools to point the way.
Through the design of systems that strengthen social networking by encouraging participation in local activities, AUGVENTS fosters creative placemaking. Coffee shops, brewpubs, book stores, street festivals, schools, even someone’s home or a favorite local restaurant, can be quickly turned into a creative-place for planned or spur-of-the-moment events.
Lowering the cost of announcements for venue owners, easing the discovery of events, and encouraging participation are the hallmarks of AUGVENTS.
