BAC KG RO U N D


Memorable experiences are made with your mates. In today’s world,
   staying in touch with ones friends is not just a want or a desire,
   its a necessity. Technology aids in keeping each other connected
   no matter where, when or what time of day or night!

‘V mate’ is an application that provides constant social connectivity
     with friends, and is the catalyst to bring friends together to
     make memorable experiences

‘V mate’ gives its users the ability to see where their mates are,
    interact with them and organise the best experience possible no
    matter where they are!
PROBLEM & SOLUTION


PROBLEM
Innovations in technology have been a catalyst for connecting friends
     together. None have been better than social media websites and
     their integration with mobile devices.

Despite the wonders of technology, many of these applications fail to
     deliver requirements of today's young adults, many of which are
     plagued with added features and internet connection
     limitations. These individuals, although technologically savvy,
     also long for memorable experiences that they can share with
     their friends in person.

SOLUTION
V energy drinks ‘V mate’ mobile/social application will aid in bringing
     friends together through the use of mobile technology. A series
     of simple features within the app will aid individuals in finding
     friends and experiences that they want to share!
THE APP

Through 3G/Wi-Fi connectivity, the ‘V mate’ application will allow
     constant connection and interaction with friends who also have
     the application.

The application features include;
       An Augmented reality friends locator, which shows
             friends position in relation to where the users mobile
             camera is pointing
       A map that shows the location of their friends who also
             use the application
       Instant chat with individuals and groups of friends
       Live video streaming
       Simple connectivity with other users of the ‘V mate’
             application
       Synchronisation with social media platforms
TECH BEHIND IT

To connect with friends through the ‘V mate’ mobile application, the user
     needs to turn on the app and have constant connection to a 3G/Wi-
     Fi network

At special events, where this type of technology experiences lag or
     downtime, dedicated ‘V mate’ application Wi-Fi signal boosters
     should be installed. Such events would include:
        Festivals
        Concerts
        Launch parties

The Wi-Fi signal boosters will only accept connections and transmissions
    from ‘V mate’ mobile applications within the given area, making the
    users of this application able to be in contact throughout the event.

This has a successfully proven method of locating individuals already,
     through the Rosemount mobile locator application.
MAKING THE CONNECTION!


    The ‘V mate’ application connects users to their friends (who also have
         the ‘V mate’ application) and allows them to interact with each
         other in real time.

    A user connects the ‘V mate’ application to their Facebook profile and
         phonebook. The user than selects the friends that they wish to be
         connected with. To complete the connection, the selected friends
         are sent a request through Facebook to accept the connection and
         download the mobile application.

    To add a new person to your ‘V mates’ list, the user of the application
         merely searches for the persons unique ‘V mates’ account (which is
         directly linked to their Facebook account) and sends a request to
         that person.



Note: connections will only show of people that are currently using the application. If application is not turned on, no data
can be pulled for others to see.

To view other pins on the map, the user simply moves the camera so that                       13 mates

      expand .

This function of the ‘V mate’ application will be a valuable tool to find
      friends in close proximity (such as a festivals or concerts) where the
      map view would not be able to zoom in to such fine detail.
P U T T I N G YO U R M AT E S O N
             THE MAP!
The ‘V mate’ application will make locating friends* easy by allowing users
     to constantly feed their locations to their selected friends.
                                                                                                                                   4
The ‘V mate’ application will ask the person if they wish to show their                                                    2
     location to their connections. The user will opt-in to this option by
     selecting the location that best describes where they are located (if
     they do not wish to opt-in but still be online, they can select ‘do not
     wish to share my location’)

The locations will be shown through pins on a map number representing                                                                  3   5
     the number of people at a particular location. The user of the
     application can expand each pin by pressing on it, to gain more
     information about the location, how many friends are currently
     occupying it, as well as send instant chat messages to that person                                                            7
     through the application. A zoom functionality will allow users to see
                                                                                                                       3       1
     more details in map or more of the map with a zoom out option.

This function is ideal for the user to see where their friends are located in a
      larger area and connect with them.


               *Connections will only show of people that are currently using the application. If application is not
               turned on, no data can be pulled for others to see.
I N S TA N T M E S S AG I N G

The ‘V mate’ application will give users the ability to instantly message
     one another using the chat feature.
                                                                              SASHA SAYS:
Users can access this either through the homepage and select the friend       Hows Establishment Cat?
     they wish to chat to, or through the locator/augmented reality           Worth coming down?
     locator options. Users in the instant message function of the            CAT SAYS:
                                                                              Its boring, I'm about to leave, where you
     application can then invite others to join in the conversation.
                                                                              at, is it any better?
                                                                              (SASHA ADDED TIM TO CONVERSATION)

      make it easier for users to distinguish between actions and other       Come down to Bar 333, I'm finishing up
      users.                                                                  drinks and then we can walk across to
                                                                              ivy!
                                                                              SASHA SAYS:

     When the user sends the message, the keyboard will automatically         CAT SAYS:
     retract and the shortcut icons will re-appear.                           Sounds wicked, see you soon guys!


This function of the application is ideal when mobile signals delay mobile
      phone calls and SMS messages, such as large festivals and concerts.
      By using the instant messaging function of the ‘V mate’ application,
      users will be able to keep in constant communication with one
      another.
EYE SPY

The ‘V mate’ application will allow users to share their experience in
     real-time, through the video streaming function of the
     application.

The user selects the option to stream a video through the instant
     messaging function. While the video is streamed between two            Cat Williams
     people they will not be able to chat.

The window will show a thumbnail of who is watching the video. If
     either users exit the streaming function of this application, the
     other will simultaneously be brought back to the chat screen,
     where conversation can continue.

This function of the application is ideal for users to show their friends
      exactly where they are, who they are with and the experience
      they are having. This function can also act as a guide to show
      the location of the individual so that two people can come
      together, yet another valuable tool for festivals and concerts
      that V is associated with.
S O C I A L SY NC H RO N I Z AT I O N


The ‘V mate’ application will be fully synchronised with an individuals
     personal social profiles.

The option to update an individuals social network (outside of the ‘V
     mate’ application) will be given after a certain action is performed.

Such actions may include:
        Sharing photos
        Location updates
        Written updates

The option to extend such updates to the individuals social network
     community will appear as a checkbox after such actions have taken
     place.

Visa Versa, through installing the application and using it while on other
      social networking applications, ‘V mate’ will update the individuals
      application with the same written and location updates.
A P P C O M PA T I B I L I T Y


The ‘V mate’ application will be fully compatible with a range of smart
     phones including:
        •    Apple iPhone
        •    Samsung Galaxy SII
        •    Galaxy Nexus
        •    Blackberry
        •    Motorola Antrix
To use this application the user will need to have the application running
     and have the settings set so that the phone will have continuous
     3G, 4G or Wi-Fi connection.

The application will be scalable depending on parameters of the phones
     screen. The application will also be able to be used both in
     panoramic and landscape view.
I M P L E M E N TAT I O N
                            S T R AT E GY

The ‘V mate’ application should be launched through V energy drinks
     association with one of the major national festivals. This will give
     the application maximum potential for virility around Australia

As stated before, festivals and large scale concerts are ideal for such an
      application concept, as mobile reception is put under tremendous
      strain.

Such a launch will act as a catalyst for festival attendees in the future to
     share this application with fellow friends and extend the usage of
     such an app beyond the initial launch event. Through the use of
     Facebook updates and the creation of a new tab on the V energy
     drink Facebook Fan page, the extent of use of such an application
     can be explained beyond its initial purpose.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT


The ‘V mate’ application can provide advertisement space for venue’s
     and special events. This can provide an on-going revenue stream
     for V, as popular locations and brands will bid to have their brand
     in certain sections of the application.

This can be extended to special events V is associated with, such as
      Festivals for cross promotional endeavours. The promoters can use
      the app as a means to virtually display their event maps while the V
      application can be pushed as the main digital application of the
      event.

Special/popular places of interest of the target audience of this
     application can further enhance their location on the locator
     functions by customising skin and logo designs which will make
     their venue stand out. This could also be an extra source of on-
     going revenue for the application and the V brand.
What makes a memorable experience?
