Aura: Social Discovery

Aura: The Social Discovery Layer Bridge the gap between digital identity and physical reality. Aura is a proximity-powered social discovery layer designed for creators, innovators, and modern networkers. In a world where we are more digitally connected yet physically isolated than ever, Aura acts as the missing link—allowing you to discover the stories, portfolios, and professional identities of the people standing right in front of you. THE CONCEPT Every person has an "Aura"—a digital signature of their creative and professional life. Aura uses high-precision proximity technology to detect other users within a 50-meter radius, turning every coffee shop, co-working space, and conference into a live discovery zone. KEY FEATURES 1. Real-Time Proximity Discovery No more missed connections. As you move through the world, Aura identifies other creators nearby. See their name, their role, and their creative focus instantly on your discovery feed. 2. AR "Glasses" Mode Experience the future of social interaction. Switch to Glasses Mode to use an augmented reality interface that overlays "Aura Tags" directly onto your surroundings. Visualize the creative energy in the room and interact with profiles in a fully immersive 3D space. 3. Creator Profiles & Deep Linking Your Aura is your digital business card, evolved. Showcase your bio and link directly to your work across platforms like Instagram, Spotify, GitHub, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more. Let your portfolio speak for you before you even say hello. 4. Approach Status: Social Consent by Design We believe in meaningful, respectful connections. Aura features a unique "Approach Status" system to set your boundaries in real-time: Say Hi: You’re open to spontaneous conversation. Request: Please send a digital "Approach Request" before coming over. Discovery Only: You’re just browsing and prefer to stay in your zone. 5. Approach Requests Found someone you’d love to collaborate with? Send a digital Approach Request. If they grant it, you’ve got the green light to introduce yourself. It’s networking with the friction—and the awkwardness—removed. 6. Sponsored Aura Tags Discover curated brands and opportunities through Sponsored Aura Tags—contextual, non-intrusive discovery points that blend seamlessly into your AR environment. PRIVACY & SAFETY FIRST Aura is built on a foundation of privacy. No Historical Tracking: We do not store a log of your movements. Location data is used only for active proximity matching. Local Processing: AR and camera data are processed locally on your device. Total Control: You can hide your profile, switch to Discovery Only, or delete your identity instantly at any time. WHO IS AURA FOR? Creators & Artists: Find collaborators at galleries or studios. Developers & Techies: Connect with potential co-founders at hackathons.
