Interactive Exploration Apps

The Phigital App is the Perfect Companion for Adventuring

— April 30, 2014 — World
A pictures may be worth a thousand words, but there are also some things that you just have to experience in person—but the Phigital app gives you both.

One of the first options users have when they open the app is a choice to either "discover" or "capture." Choosing the "capture" option will take users on a scavenger hunt-like adventure in real life, which includes activities like Foursquare check-ins, descriptions, pictures or videos that users can watch before progressing to the next location. The app is free to download and you have the option to make your own guided tours, as well as share them publicly or privately.

With guided tours of Athens, Hong Kong and New York, the app is perfect for travelling or even venturing into new parts of your own city when you feel like being taken somewhere new.
Trend Themes
1. Phigital Apps - Phigital apps continue to innovate by combining the physical and digital worlds for immersive experiences.
2. Scavenger Hunt Adventure - The concept of Scavenger Hunt-type adventures continues to evolve with the integration of technology and user-generated experience options.
3. Guided Tours - Guided tours have entered a new era, with individualized options and user-generated content now available through apps like Phigital.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - Phigital apps like this have a potential to bring a whole new level of excitement to travel and tourism, especially among younger millennials.
2. Entertainment - The combination of scavenger hunt-type adventures and interactive technologies like AR and VR could revolutionize the entertainment industry and create entirely new experiences for users to enjoy.
3. Education - Phigital guided tours could play a role in bringing history and culture to life in a new and engaging way, both inside traditional classrooms and outside in museums and historical sites.
