LIFE mode opens with a Life Key. about the key

A waterfront neighbourhood at dusk with glowing signs floating in the air above the shops and the park.
what you see

Not a camera.
A street that talks back.

Everything is pinned to its real coordinate, so it stays where it belongs. Turn around and the world turns with you. The things do not follow your screen. They belong to places.

No map to read. No menu to open. You look, and it has already answered.

An ordinary evening street. A circular lens moves over it, and only inside the glass the street shows its augmented layer.

the three things

Three things float in the glass.

  • On the phone screen only: a glowing card unfolding over a cafe doorway; the real cafe around the phone is ordinary.

    Billboards

    Hanging in the air over the direction of a real place. A café two streets away puts something in its own doorway, and you see it from here.

  • Through the lens: a soft column of warm light standing on a real sidewalk.

    Beams

    A soft column of light standing three hundred metres off, where somebody left something waiting. You walk to it because you can see it.

  • On the phone screen only: a glowing direction wedge on the pavement; the street around the phone is ordinary.

    The cone

    What is behind you, and which way to turn. Not “in two hundred metres”. That way, the way you point at a friend across a square.

proof

This is the app, today, on a phone.

  • The bonuz camera view at the Burj Al Arab. Cards float beside the building showing Burj Al Arab 103 feet away, Jumeirah 1551 feet, Madinat Jumeirah 2957 feet and Pierchic 3465 feet.

    The camera view. Real venues, real distances.

    Burj Al Arab, 103 ft away.

  • The Nearby sheet in the bonuz app showing the full category rail.

    Nearby, with everything in reach.

    Dining, wellness, nightlife, events, drops, quests.

  • The radar screen in the bonuz app showing surrounding points and their distances.

    The radar.

    What is around you, and how far.

The interface, the venues and the distances are real. In this capture rig the camera backdrop is a stand-in image. A real field capture replaces it with no other change.

why walking

The distance is the game.

You cannot tap your way to it from the sofa. The thing is three hundred metres away and the only way to get it is to go there. That is not a limitation. That is the entire product.

A reason to take the long way home.

  • 1A beam you can see from here, and a walk you decide to take.
  • 2Arriving is the proof. Nothing else has to be checked.
  • 3Your ordinary route past the same shops becomes a route with things on it.
  • 4Nobody can farm it from a desk, which is why what you collect is worth something.
  • 5It works best on the walk you were taking anyway. That is the whole design.
it is yours

You keep it.
Even if we disappear.

What you pick up is held by you, not stored in our database as a row we could delete. If bonuz shut down tomorrow, the voucher, the membership, the thing you earned, all of it still exists and it is still yours.

you can place too

Leave something for a stranger.

Anyone can hang something in the air: a shop, an artist, a schoolteacher, you.

  • A shop

    Something in its own doorway, priced at about what a coffee costs.

  • An artist

    A piece that only exists on one corner, and only for whoever walks past it.

  • A person

    A note, a gift, a small thing left where a friend will find it.

statusOpen placing with money attached is not switched on yet. The curated set is live.

quests

A place. A proof. A payoff.

A drop you find is fun. A quest is a task with somewhere to be, something to show for it, and something at the end.

  1. A place

    Somewhere real

    A beach, a museum, a shop, a street corner. Being there is half the task.

  2. A proof

    Something to show

    You arrived, you did it, here is the picture. A bot cannot stand on a beach.

  3. A payoff

    Something at the end

    A reward that is yours afterwards, not points in an app you will abandon.

where life is going

Ideas that are not built yet.

  • concept

    Neon cats

    A season fills the city with something that was not there last month, then ends.

  • concept

    Plant a tree

    A real sapling, photographed, and a thing above it that grows every year it survives.

  • concept

    The field trip

    A class walks a trail and the buildings introduce themselves, one at a time.

  • concept

    The yoga coach

    A class in a park that anyone walking past can see is on, right now, forty metres that way.

Your phone is the beginning, not the point.

The same layer is built for the glasses that are arriving. bonuz is a registered developer with Apple and with Meta's wearables programme. Nothing you collect today needs moving when they get here.
