Neon AR

Neon AR is an augmented reality social messaging app for iOS that uses Apple's ARKit to enable users to leave 3D AR messages and locate friends in real-world environments. The app's core feature, 'Users Nearby,' allows users to see friends in their vicinity via AR — a distance indicator and directional arrow guide them to one another through crowded venues such as music festivals. Neon was created to be the world's first social AR messaging platform and was publicly demonstrated at the Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco. The app uses a mapping system to show nearby contacts and facilitates real-world meetups by overlaying location data onto the camera view. Based in Los Angeles, Neon AR is a consumer app targeting social discovery and in-person meetup facilitation through augmented reality.
