AR - The Ibiza party scene is being given Augmented Reality

[prnewswire] With Ibiza's opening parties only weeks away, Pacha, the 43-year old Ibiza club and music brand, is set to launch the coolest guide to Ibiza using the very latest Augmented Reality in its forthcoming free iPhone app. From the moment you land to jumping on a plane to head back home, the Pacha VIP guide app will be sure to be with you all the way.

Loaded with exclusive content written by true Ibiza veterans, Ibiza island goers will be able to use the app to find out what is happening in every club in real time, and then be guided to the next beach party using Augmented Reality. Literally hundreds of Ibiza's best kept secrets and must do's are included in the app.

Built using Yuza Mobiles Skan AR engine and designed by ZIP, Augmented Reality really comes into play in locations known for secret parties, cool bars, hidden gems and of course the world's best clubs, this location is of course Ibiza.

Danny Whittle - Director, Pacha "We recognise that the future of guides are on our phone, in our pockets and on demand, so we at Pacha decided to provide the ultimate travel guide to the users of our iPhone app. There is so much to do in Ibiza and we don't want anyone to miss out on anything and with Augmented Reality you won't - from the best beaches to the best restaurants and the best club nights, we want it all to be enjoyed."

Richard Skaife - CEO, Yuza Mobile "Pacha are world leaders in what they do. The coolest clubs, playing the best music for the coolest people, Pacha's VIP Guide App will help take your next trip to the island to a very different level. Augmented Reality is the technology of the future and it's great to see a brand like Pacha fully exploring the future."

With the Pacha VIP Guide you will not only be able to get the ultimate guide to Ibiza, but also use Augmented Reality to help you find your way back to your villa or hotel after a night in the club. This app is about more than just directions, it's about great content, it's about being able to arrange passes to the best parties on the island or even book a sun-bed on an ultra exclusive beach. The Pacha VIP Guide is like your best mate letting you into a secret world, that only they know about.

Pacha will also be using image recognition as part of the overall app experience, by collecting Pacha cherries, app users will be able to unlock special guest mixes - showing that the app is not only helpful but also very rewarding.

The future is here, it is Augmented Reality and Pacha are bringing it to Ibiza in 2010.
