Follow and Create city tours with Storytelling on a smartphone

About

A platform (smartphone app and webapp) to follow and create location-based stories. A location-based story is a narrative fragmented in smaller narratives which are placed in different locations in the city, forming a path with a story. The concept tries to create an immersive experience to the user by merging the physical space with the story and making the user feel part of it. Content creation is assured by independent storytellers and artists, showcasing their work, which may be compensated in different ways: by selling stories directly to the users or by getting rewards for advertisement of local businesses in their stories. The local business owners can bid for geo-located tags, advertising their business, which the storyteller can pick, include in his stories and earn the bid value per each user that consumes that story and reaches the location of that tag. This way, the user is led by the story to the business and is more predisposed to consume due to the story effect.
