See your city the way you haven't seen it before

If i understood correctly, the application provides real time information about places depending on the other users comments. Video starts good, but we can't see much about application. Some small boxes with unclear photos show up in the phone screen when phone is held towards some direction.

Not clear whether it shows the "friends hanging out currently at the place phone directed to" or "comments about the place". Somewhere in the video a box appeared on a car's driver that was passing by, which made me even think that "is that a face recognition app?" (yes i hope and expect too much)

Show more from the application.

Right. Thanks for the feedback. The application you've seen in the video is in it's pre-beta stage. We are still working on the ui and some features that we haven't revealed in the video. Those grey boxes are venues, and avatars are your friends. App shows your friends, venues and points of interests (gatherings, events, etc..) on both the map and the camera screen (AR). You can initiate a meetup with your friend(s). When you do that the app will guide you, using the map or the camera screen(AR), to your friend's location; or your friend to your location; or both of you to a mid-point. App also suggests suitable mid-points for a meetup for you to choose. It's golden especially when you are abroad or at a different city.
