Problem
Traditional social media platforms often contribute to sedentary lifestyles and mental health issues by prioritizing digital engagement over real-world experiences. Users can become overly focused on online interactions, leading to decreased physical activity and a disconnect from their local environment.
Solution
Airoma is an augmented reality (AR) social platform designed to encourage users to explore their physical surroundings by providing geo-specific content. The platform unlocks content based on the user's location, incentivizing outdoor exploration and discovery of local points of interest. By removing features like like counts, filters, and algorithms, Airoma aims to foster a more candid and less competitive online environment. The platform also includes a city-wide feed for days when outdoor exploration is not possible, ensuring users can still connect with their community.
Target Audience
Airoma targets individuals, particularly students and young adults, who are interested in exploring their local communities and seeking a social media experience that prioritizes mental and physical well-being over digital popularity contests.
