Here’s a new application that seems to make the most of the iPhone’s GPS capabilities . The latest to enter the gang is Live Event Application by Calibrus which utilizes the GPS ability for geo-locating. As called by the code name ‘Fanatic’ the app is intended to provide a social networking experience tailored to the fans of any particular performer, team or event.
Through this app, users can attend any live event thanks to the phone’s GPS system. Users can fetch relevant information of the event based on the GPS location with the application service or a separate event service. They will then be allowed to ‘check in’ to the event through this app. They can also see, share and communicate their live event experience with their friends using this app at the event. It magnifies user experience and personalizes it to an extent that was never imagined before.
Tom Harker, CTO at Calibrus, commented, “The foresight of hardware developers to embed this technology has allowed us to make this application which turns live events from passive viewings into full blown fan-centric experiences, inviting you to participate with the event and your friends.”
Fanatic is developed to embrace the social networking services with the intention of interacting with fans worldwide. Users can gain limitless information about the fans, bands, teams, promoters, ticket venues and advertisers through this app.
Live Event Application can be purchased from the App store. Pricing details of this app have not been cleared.
