Explore Now is a concept about connecting people with experiences.
The concept combines the digital and physical worlds through a videoconferencing service that connects people in the cloud to mobile physical world guides who take them to the places they want, similar to the way a guide for local tourism or a personal shopper would.
By facilitating real- world experiences the service creates a new market within a billion dollar industry combining entertainment, shopping and tourism for economic, cultural, and social benefit.
Today we can join a live event through stationary cameras, but what missing is visual control of the surroundings and interactive engagement. While online shopping allows us to navigate through websites, the experience is impersonal.
Explore Now allows virtual guests to guide where they go, what to look at, and interactions. Guides could be wearing a device that has a camera, for example glasses, or using a hand held device.
There are many different ways to productize the concept, below are 2 simple Grandma Scenarios for shopping and tourism.
Note- these are draft scenarios with poorly design UI’s as placeholders.
This concept has been percolating for 10 years. I know it will happen and is happening to some extent now. I want to be a part of connecting people with these new experiences.
