Hapy
One-on-One live chat with like minded and local strangers, with a goal to create a more empathetic society
Facebook and other social networks have shown the capability of a connected world, but we still lack a method of connecting with new people outside our circles and understanding their ways of life. We typically find ourselves in the comfort and familiarity of our bubble. HAPY users are provided an enriching tool to cross paths with a local stranger’s Golden Circle and learn about WHY they exist. This tool allows the users a two minute, one-on-one, live video chat with another local. Not sure what to talk about? HAPY alleviates this problem by providing a short list of fun and thought provoking conversation starters that are updated daily to help break the ice. Many problems over the years have been solved as communication tools improve but the drawback is that they are primarily focused on established connections. HAPY is different as it utilizes the advancement in live-streaming technologies to turn our cities into neighborhoods.
Hapy utilizes a visualization we coined Organic Structure that reimagines the way information is organized. Instead of the linear feed that’s come to dominate the presentation of digital information in all apps, this Organic Structure displays information in a multidimensional space where its relevance to you is dictated in size and position. You can explore that space in every direction without being constrained by a set way of scrolling. The content itself defines the structure, not the other way around.
