Setting up CommonAR is straightforward. Users create a profile with a bio, social media links, and a selfie for easy recognition. Event organizers can then join or create events, which are easily shareable via links or email invites. Attendees can discover fellow participants by flipping their camera inwards for a selfie with a new acquaintance or outwards to identify people nearby. The app's compatibility data helps spark conversations by highlighting commonalities, steering interactions in a more meaningful direction.
Beyond initial connections, CommonAR facilitates long-term relationship building. Each scan is automatically added to your contacts, ensuring that meaningful encounters are not forgotten. For event hosts, CommonAR offers a significant advantage over traditional methods like QR codes, NFC cards, or paper business cards. It reduces friction, provides compatibility data, and offers context across events, making networking more productive and less cumbersome. The platform aims to make events more impactful for attendees and easier for organizers.
CommonAR's AI matching algorithms encourage conversations based on event context, acting as a copilot for attendees to decide who to meet, why, and how to start. The platform prioritizes security and privacy, with end-to-end encrypted data storage and user control over visible information. It offers an ad-free experience, never selling user data. CommonAR is free for hosts and users, with plans to remain so while expanding offerings to accelerate meaningful in-person interactions. While an Android app is on the roadmap, Android users can access event functionalities via a web app, missing only the AR experience.
For event organizers using Luma, CommonAR offers instant import of guest lists via a Chrome extension. For other platforms, attendees can be imported via CSV. The system initiates recognition using LinkedIn profile photos, with users having the option to claim and enhance their profiles within the app. CommonAR addresses privacy concerns by creating safe interaction hotspots limited to specific times, locations, and approved users, ensuring that spatial computing enhances lives responsibly.
