http://MapMe.io, a AR platform for the IoT, primarily for transportation awareness. Original motivation was to create an all-software solution for the bicyclist to be more aware of something coming up from behind - as I am mostly deaf. After a few startup weekends and intel edison incubators, I'm getting close to testing with small group of alpha users in a larger city like SF (where real-time data is available for public buses). The idea for the MapMe.io is to be the software platform where real-time notifications enhance transportation safety overall. Spotter view/tab will access the phone camera for "background" of app/"foreground" for user and the alerts will give relevant alerts based on user location.
I don't think you're going to get much participation unless you explain more about the project on your website.
thanks! the main company website (http://beaconsafety.co) and/or the mapme.io site? For the mapme.io site I'm planning to add a "how-to" modal later.
