The app will automatically sort users into specific meetup areas based on geolocation data. This is supplemented by a participant survey that gives the app a general idea of the user's location. Prototyping was done for locations specifically on the UCSD campus, but the survey can be expanded to include more far-reaching locations.

After being paired with others and given instructions on the specific meetup location for the group, participants would go out and find each other. Using AR technology, users can walk up to a in-person location and hold their phone up to a specific landmark to discover blue locator beacons on their phone screen. This is meant to act as a physical "pin" compared to

In order to accommodate for all users, including those who aren't able to commit to the co-located area, a AR version of the participant's camera can be added to other users' view on their phone to simulate a holographic version of themselves in the physical space. The camera sticks to a certain spot and can be moved around as if the person were physically present with the other members.

Using the in-app tools, all members can converse seamlessly. The app will have selected individuals within the area, which can facilitate conversation around events or culture surrounding each specific co-located spots. For those participating off-site, the users will hear audio from their phone spatially tuned as if they were talking at a distance from them in real life. All of these tools add up to create an immersive, yet pleasant and efficient experience for interaction.

In addition to verbal conversation, users are able to take full advantage of AR technology by implementing 3D models into their discussion. From a database of different user-generated creations, participants can place objects into their AR view similar to how they added a camera to see participants outside of the co-located space. This helps give the user further motivation to stay in our app to converse rather than simply talking amongst themselves because 3D models can help to convey specific talking points. Furthermore, 3D models can be seen and interacted with by anyone partaking in the discussion, so even off-site members can make the most out of the app's benefits.

In case the user-generated options did not provide enough flexibility to meet the needs of a meeting group, the app gives users an array of options to customize how their models look and work. From resizing to rotating and customizing the object itself, the possibilities are endless when the group lets their imagination help them visualize the topics they discuss. Again, these options would be available to any user, regardless of whether or not they are participating from the co-located region or a different area.
