Leave traces to the world with Auglinn!
Drop, find and share notes outside through AR and a map.
This video explains what we are about...
Auglinn is an AR* app that allows people to attach notes to locations and share these notes on the street (virtually) and on a map.
*AR: Augmented Reality
Every corner of a city holds different meanings for different people, shaping their versions of the city.
Auglinn connects people with their surroundings by displaying these meanings. It allows you to leave your trace on the city by pinning virtual notes – ideas, information, stories, feedback – or questions about locations while you are outside. Notes and questions are in a box shape.
You can choose whether your notes are visible to the public or kept private, just for your eyes or the people you give access to. You can share notes as a map with whomever you like.
Here's the cool part: anyone passing by can see and engage with your public notes or questions on the street, through AR.
Get organized
Guys, we meet right here tomorrow at 9 AM to start our city tour!

The top features of Auglinn
Drop your notes and questions outside
Attach your notes and questions for specific locations outdoors through virtual boxes.
Notes can be intended for particular groups that we call 'Spaces', or for personal use, like reminders.
Other people can like or comment on your notes, and they can respond to your questions.

Choose a space and duration for your notes and questions, and post.
For all your boxes that are intended for others, choose a space to post and the duration for your box to expire.
'Space' is a curated world created by Auglinn users based on their interests. You can think of it as a living map.
A space can be created as public, view-only, or private space (e.g. with your family/partner).
Once the time is over and your box is expired, your note will be removed from the chosen spaces, and it will be visible to you only.
