Problem
Travelers often miss out on the rich history, cultural significance, and hidden gems surrounding them during their journeys. Traditional travel guides can be cumbersome and fail to provide real-time, location-specific information that enhances the experience of being present in a new environment.
Solution
LOCCO is a mobile application that delivers location-based audio content, providing users with real-time narratives and insights about their immediate surroundings while driving, cycling, or walking. The app uses the user's live geographic position to trigger short audio stories about nearby landmarks, cultural sights, and local points of interest. By running in the background, LOCCO allows users to remain engaged with their journey while enriching their understanding and appreciation of the environment.
