Oftentimes, people walk past places with distinctive histories without even realizing. With our project we want to provide users with access to information about important cultural, historical and social events and connect this information to places around them. The location based notifications are designed to make it as simple as possible for the users to engage with these topics in their day-to-day lives. They can also share newly found information with other people and personalize their area and topics of interest.
The editor is designed for institutions that want to share information and draw attention to different topics. They can manage their places and assets while categorizing them, so that users can easily find them.
The app currently only offers data about places in Berlin, but this is not a limitation. Users are able to select between English and German, which opens up the possibility to add other languages in the future.
