Plott.me is a platform for creating and sharing self-guided tours, for the iPhone and Web. The places in which we live are complex collections of individual memories and rich histories - can a mobile application help uncover these hidden narratives, and offer news ways of accessing them? Plott.me redefines the walking tour as a location-linked story that unfolds at the pace of the individual user. Using the iPhone\'s location-aware capabilities, it provides on-site, on-demand stories, seamlessly and intelligently streamed to the mobile phone as the user moves through the city. These stories are submitted by users, who utilize a web-based interface to record, upload and geo-tag their content, which is then made accessible on the phone. The resulting stories involve a compelling mix of audio and imagery, offering a new way to experience the physical environment. [More] [Less] |
