Spacetime Layers is a platform for location-based content.
It’s an app with an interactive map consisting of layers of information. It was founded in a primary school classroom and almost immediately took off as a platform for any organization to share information on location.
Spacetime Layers is to location-based content like what Youtube is to video. You wouldn’t build a website for your video, you would open a channel on Youtube. Likewise, organizations open an account on the Spacetime Layers web portal to manage their own Layers of content on the interactive map in real-time. The app centers on your location and gives instant access to content of all relevant parties in that place/region.
Since there was no platform in the world that uses location as central aspect of communication, the purposes and deployment started to grow rapidly. What if we could ask citizens to help map disaster areas? How about asking them about their opinion on urban planning and other municipal agendas?
Spacetime Layers can be used for public information, reports, sensor technology (iot), webcams (live feeds), crisis management (real time location of aid workers and crowd-sourcing a map of the disaster areas) and much more. It is even possible to have hidden Layers that can only be accessed with a QR code for internal use.
The power of the concept lays in the shared user base, the real-time content management, the constant innovation you would never get from ordering a single function app for a specific purpose and the possibility to reach out to public in a specified region. The many purposes for Spacetime Layers provide not only a ready platform, but also the reach of the combined user base of all participating agencies and organizations.
