SIGMA CHAIN

Launch of a Revolutionary SNS for Sharing Memorable Moments with Location-Based AR Log Service!
A New Social Platform That Merges Reality and Digital with an AR Camera
AR Log: An Innovative Feature for Users to Record Their Precious Memories

[THE DIGITAL TIME] SigmaChain, a total blockchain solution company led by CEO Jin-Young Kwak, announced on the 19th the official launch of PiKi, an innovative location-based social network service (LBSNS) featuring the AR Log service. PiKi, a homegrown Korean SNS platform, offers users a new way to record and share vivid stories and cherished memories through an AR camera in their surroundings.

PiKi’s AR Log allows users to register photos and videos taken at specific locations as AR Logs, breaking down the boundaries between reality and digital content to provide users with a unique experience. This feature enables users to relive the stories left by friends and family at actual locations, offering a level of immersion far beyond that of a simple post.

Notably, PiKi’s AR Log service is expected to significantly enhance visitor engagement and satisfaction by leveraging the distinct characteristics of specific regions, such as tourist cities, local festivals, and cultural streets. For instance, in tourist cities, citizens can use AR Logs to record and share photos and reviews taken at particular landmarks, thereby providing opportunities to revitalize cultural heritage sites and tourist attractions.

During local festivals, users can capture moments from various events and performances in AR Logs, allowing visitors to document their diverse experiences. This feature facilitates a new form of communication where festival-goers can vividly share and experience the atmosphere of the event through others’ memories.

In cultural streets like Daehangno, young artists and audiences can share their impressions of performances and exhibitions in real-time via AR Logs, transforming cultural spaces such as libraries and theaters into more vibrant and dynamic hubs of interaction. Users can richly enjoy the artistic experiences of the area, fostering a new form of cultural interaction.

With the launch of AR Log, PiKi aims to help users experience locations more deeply and, in doing so, offer opportunities to share their precious memories and create new ones by interacting with others. PiKi also plans to support users in connecting more closely with their local communities and will continue to update various features and reflect user feedback to provide an evolving service.

CEO Jin-Young Kwak emphasized, "PiKi AR Log is an innovative platform that harmonizes blockchain technology, location-based services, and augmented reality (AR) technology, positioning it as the world’s first SNS of its kind. We hope users will communicate in new ways through PiKi, share their precious moments and stories, and enjoy these experiences more uniquely," adding that "PiKi AR Log will enable users to create special memories in their daily lives, fostering richer social interactions."

The PiKi AR Log service is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play Store, where users are expected to enjoy the fun of recording and sharing their stories through this platform.
