Plott for iPhone and Web: Stories that know where you are

Hi there! Plott is a platform for creating and sharing guided tours, for the iPhone and Web.

For Plott, a tour is a location-based experience tied to outdoor places, such as a building, park or street intersection. Many places have a rich history to them that are unknown to passers by. At the same time, we read about places without being able to touch, smell or taste the real environment. Plott seeks to bridge this gap through two channels. Primarily it provides on-site, on-demand stories to the mobile phone while they are at the story location. These stories are delivered in the form of audio and images, allowing the user to be immersed and explore the physical environment while being told a fascinating story. Alternatively it provides a virtual experience of the physical environment using Google Street View. Plott provides online tools to record upload audio and images, as well as geo-tag them with locations. This enables authors to record their own location-based stories and then using iPhone or web.
